SHANGHAI, Apr 4 (SMM) - The RCs of blister copper in south China jumped 250 yuan/mt MoM to 1,200-1,500 yuan/mt in March, while those is north China gained 50 yuan/mt MoM to 1,100-1,200 yuan/mt.
Sharply rising RCs in south China were driven by oversupply. Copper scrap supply was relatively plentiful amid high copper prices, ensuring sufficient raw material supply to blister copper smelters. Some smelters were about to undertake maintenance and most smelters held adequate blister copper inventories, lifting RCs in south China.
In north China, blister copper supply was stable and transactions were mostly under long-term orders, thus RCs rose only slightly.
