SHANGHAI, Oct. 16 (SMM) –Since copper futures prices kept lurching narrowly, post-holiday scrap copper discounts remained unchanged. CIF quotations for bare bright copper were US 10¢/lb below Comex copper for December delivery, US 24¢/lb below #1 scrap copper, and US 34¢/lb below #2 scrap copper. Downstream orders were not seen to improve noticeably post-holiday, but as the SHFE/LME copper price ratio moved slightly higher to around 7.23, losses on imported scrap copper eased to RMB 2,200-2,600/mt.
