Stocks of copper in Shanghai bonded areas increased on limited arrivals.

SHANGHAI, Jan 15 (SMM) — Stocks of copper in Shanghai bonded areas increased on limited arrivals.

SMM data showed that the stocks rose 200 mt from the prior week to 353,500 mt as of Friday January 15.

The import window continued to close on week, with a loss of over 300 yuan/mt. The demand for customs declaration was low, while arrivals were also limited. The delay in shipping schedules led to the overall shortage of overseas arrivals. Those accounted for the stable situation in the copper bonded stocks this week.

PT Smelting Gresik Returns to Normal Operations Following Short Maintenance Shutdown

According to SMM market research, the PT Smelting copper smelter in Gresik, Indonesia, temporarily suspended production following an equipment issue in August. The repair work took around two weeks, and the smelter has now returned to normal operating levels. Public disclosures showed that PT Smelting halted operations from August 8 for furnace repairs. The facility, 66%-owned by PT Freeport Indonesia and 34%-owned by Mitsubishi Materials, has expanded copper cathode capacity of approximately 342,000 t/y and concentrate processing capacity of around 1.3 Mt/y. During the temporary shutdown, Freeport adjusted its shipment schedule and accelerated the restart of its new Manyar smelter. With PT Smelting now back at normal operating levels and Manyar resuming concentrate feeding in August and cathode production in September, both of Freeport's copper smelting facilities in Gresik have returned to production. However, Manyar remains in a ramp-up phase, with its operating rate largely dependent on the recovery of concentrate supply from the Grasberg Block Cave mine.
