The enamelled wire industry saw a slight increase in operating rates and orders taken this week, though enterprise order differentiation remained pronounced.

The spot copper cathode price in Shandong has continued to rise.

Spot premiums in Shandong rose steadily this week. As of Thursday, the average spot copper price in Shandong was quoted at a premium of 50 yuan/mt. This week, the market maintained a weak supply-demand pattern. Two smelters in the province conducted simultaneous maintenance, and the regional circulating supply was already tight.
