According to SMM, copper prices have stayed high recently. Combined with the situation where April demand was partially front-loaded into March, and persistently weak demand from the terminal air conditioning sector, multiple factors have collectively dragged down industry orders for enamelled wire. SMM expects that the operating rate of the enamelled wire industry in April may pull back more than expectations.
