The price difference between primary metal and scrap was 2,209 yuan/mt, up 429 yuan/mt MoM. The price spread between primary and secondary copper rods was 1,340 yuan/mt. According to the SMM survey, the price difference between primary metal and scrap, as well as the price spread between primary and secondary copper rods, continued to widen. Although demand was insufficient due to wire and cable enterprises starting their holidays early, many traders actively picked up goods as the arbitrage space expanded. It is expected that after copper prices pull back before the Chinese New Year, the processing fee spread for secondary copper rods can be profited from.
