According to the SMM survey, as of Thursday (November 7), domestic bonded zone copper inventories increased by 1,800 mt WoW (from October 31) to 59,900 mt. Among them, Shanghai bonded zone inventories increased by 2,000 mt WoW to 56,100 mt; Guangdong bonded zone inventories decreased by 200 mt WoW to 3,800 mt. This week, bonded warehouse inventories continued to increase mainly due to limited downstream purchase willingness and suppliers' reluctance to sell at low prices, thus sending the sources into bonded warehouses. Looking ahead, after the SHFE/LME price ratio rebounds, downstream purchasing demand is expected to increase, and the volume of copper cathodes entering bonded warehouses is expected to decrease.

The operating rate of scrap-derived copper anode in China is expected to decline significantly in February 2026

[SMM Copper Anode] SMM forecasts that the overall operating rate of Chinese copper anode enterprises in February 2026 will drop by 19.44 percentage points MoM to 40.15%. Among them, the operating rate of ore-derived copper anode producers is expected to decrease by 0.87 percentage points MoM to 72.37%; while scrap-derived copper anode producers, due to most taking about two weeks off, are projected to see their operating rate fall sharply by 28.1 percentage points MoM to 25.12%. (Refers only to the portion of copper anode not for self-use.)
