[SMM Copper Flash] SMM expects that in March, the operating rate of domestic wire and cable enterprises is expected to increase 13.83 percentage points MoM to 69.44%. This is mainly because after the Lantern Festival, end-use industries have gradually resumed production, and orders are expected to be further released, supporting enterprises’ production schedules. In addition, after excluding holiday impacts, wire and cable enterprises are expected to gradually return to a normal production pace in March.
