The price gap between bare bright (including tax) and refined copper to narrow to RMB 800-1,200/mt, meaning that scrap copper enjoyed less price advantage against refined copper.

SHANGHAI, Feb. 26 (SMM) –In the face of weak European economic data, LME copper prices hovered around USD 8,200/mt instead of experiencing considerable increases during the Chinese New Year holiday period. Post-holiday copper futures prices dipped rapidly due absent Chinese buying, but scrap copper cargo-holders exhibited strong reluctance in moving goods, causing the price gap between bare bright (including tax) and refined copper to narrow to RMB 800-1,200/mt. This meant that scrap copper enjoyed less price advantage against refined copper, depressing downstream consumer interest in purchasing scrap copper.
