According to SMM, copper prices saw a significant decline today, while consumption in the copper cathode rod market only slightly improved without any notable release of demand. It is reported that current copper prices have yet to meet the psychological expectations of most downstream buyers, resulting in only a limited number of restocking orders at lower prices.
