【SMM Copper Cathode Rod News Flash】The operating rate of copper cathode rod producers in May is expected to decline 3.77 percentage points MoM to 67.42%. However, as copper prices have been gradually climbing recently, new orders for copper cathode rod enterprises have been notably weak, and the May operating rate may fall short of expectations.
