However, copper prices fell sharply in Thursday's night session, and the lower price center boosted downstream pricing activity, creating the possibility that next week's operating rate may rebound beyond expectations.

Copper Cathode Rod Production Resumes, but Weak Demand and High Prices Dampen Outlook
[SMM Copper Cathode Rod Flash] The operating rate rose this week mainly due to production resumptions at enterprises that had previously halted or cut production. However, end-use demand remained weak, new orders were scarce, and the surge in copper prices suppressed downstream procurement. With insufficient rigid demand from end-users such as wire & cable and enamelled wire, enterprises adopted a wait-and-see stance and operating rates continued to weaken. SMM expects the operating rate of copper cathode rod enterprises to increase by 2.37 percentage points WoW next week.
