Losses on high-quality imported scrap copper widened to RMB 1,700-1,900/mt, so traders exhibited little interest in importing.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 30 (SMM) –Copper futures prices were lifted slightly higher on positive economic data out of China, the US, and Europe. However, gains in domestic copper prices were kept in check in the face of slack consumption, which caused the SHFE/LME copper price ratio to fall slightly to 7.23-7.25. CIF quotations for bare bright copper were US 6-8¢/lb below Comex copper for March delivery, US 17-19¢/lb below #1 scrap copper, and US 29-31¢/lb below #2 scrap copper. Losses on high-quality imported scrap copper widened to RMB 1,700-1,900/mt, so traders exhibited little interest in importing.
