Cable consumption weakens

It is understood that in the near future, the enthusiasm of the cable factory to purchase copper rods has been reduced, and the order of the enamelled wire factory has also been weakened. In May, from the feedback of enterprise orders, production in May can basically maintain the performance in April, but in May, due to the decline in enamelled wire orders and the impact of foreign trade exports, the operating rate is expected to decrease slightly compared with the previous month. In addition, some large enterprises feedback, because the concentration of production in late March to April is too slow, May will be a slight shutdown to give workers a break, will also affect some of the output.

"[SMM analysis] the stimulus of electric power infrastructure is obviously that the operating rate of copper cable enterprises rose strongly to more than 100% in April.
