SHANGHAI, Aug. 9 (SMM) –According to a recent SMM survey, the number of copper wire rod producers using scrap copper as raw materials increased significantly in July, reaching to a yearly high of 11.5%.

Higher refined copper prices during July helped shift part market demand to copper wire rods which use scrap copper as raw materials.
