SHANGHAI, Nov. 23 (SMM) - About 75% copper tube/pipe producers are bearish toward copper prices, citing strong US dollar and weakness in China, according to an SMM survey of 20 domestic copper tube/pipe producers.

The US dollar remains strong especially after a big recovery in US job market. Major economic indicators from China, however, stayed sluggish, meaning a continuous slowdown in China. In the meanwhile, China’s copper output hit an all-time high in October, but demand barely improved.

10% see copper prices remain range-bound. Any further declines in copper prices will be limited in the near term now that prices have posted great drops recently. Year-end stockpiling will also underpin copper prices.

There are 15% having no idea of copper price trends.
