Anglo American et Codelco finalisent un accord pour intégrer une mine de cuivre chilienne.

[SMM Copper Anode Market] During the week, some copper anode producers affected by the previous typhoon resumed production. From August 28 to September 3, SMM's weekly operating rate of China's secondary copper anode plate producers rebounded 5.75 percentage points WoW to 50.40%. It is expected to rise 3.69 percentage points WoW next week to 54.09%.

[SMM Brass Billet Flash] According to SMM, the current tight supply of secondary brass remains unchanged, raw material prices stabilize at highs, and processing profit margins continue to be squeezed. This week, days of raw material inventories at sampled enterprises stood at 3.52 days, remaining low. However, downstream buyers mainly made just-in-time procurement, with weak willingness to restock proactively, and finished product inventory destocking was hindered once again. This week, days of finished product inventories at sampled enterprises stood at 5.11 days.

[SMM Flash Billette de laiton] Pour la semaine prochaine (9.4-9.10), les prix du cuivre devraient se consolider à des niveaux élevés à court terme, mais les commandes de demande rigide en aval devraient connaître une légère libération après la digestion progressive des cargaisons à bas prix. SMM prévoit un léger rebond du taux d'exploitation à 49,06 %, en hausse de 0,57 point de pourcentage en glissement mensuel.
