[SMM North China Copper Cathode Market] This week, after the center of copper prices pulled back, downstream users priced orders but cargo pick-up was slow; processing-side inventory had not yet been worked off, and the recovery in copper cathode purchasing demand was limited. As delivery dates approached, North China copper cathode cargoes moved south, mainly for long-term contract deliveries.
