As of last Friday, copper rod produced with copper scrap in Jiangxi was quoted with a discount of 940 yuan/mt against SHFE front-month copper contract prices. Electric copper rod in east China was quoted with premiums of 575 yuan/mt over the contract, with a price spread of 1,515 yuan/mt between copper cathode rod and copper rod produced with copper scrap. It was still advantageous for copper scrap users. The large price difference failed to boost the demand for copper rod produced with copper scrap.
