Secondary Copper Rod Industry Experiences Slow Recovery Amid Worker Shortage and Price Volatility

[Slow Recovery in Secondary Copper Rod Industry, New Orders Await Downstream Recovery Boost] According to SMM, most secondary copper rod enterprises resumed operations on February 5 (the eighth day of the Lunar New Year). However, as of February 12, they had only been operational for about a week. Enterprises reported that the recovery process has been relatively slow, mainly due to two factors: first, many non-local employees have not yet fully returned to work; second, copper prices have fluctuated at highs due to the impact of Trump's tariffs, which has also driven up the prices of secondary copper raw materials. Additionally, SMM learned that some secondary copper raw material suppliers did not resume operations until the Lantern Festival, resulting in relatively tight copper scrap supply in the market, further constraining the pace of production recovery for enterprises.
