The copper scrap market staged a full recovery after the Chinese Lantern Festival. The sellers of copper scrap have been selling aggressively after the Chinese Lantern Festival amid high copper prices and inventories built ahead of CNY holiday due to poor consumption. As such, copper scrap supply was adequate in the market.
It is worth noting that copper scrap remained loss-making from the end of December to January. It is reported that there are still large volumes of copper scrap for sale at Ningbo port currently.
