As "lubricants" and "buffers" in the industry chain, traders are important "price discoverers" in the spot copper cathode market.

As "lubricants" and "buffers" in the industry chain, traders are important "price discoverers" in the spot copper cathode market. Against the backdrop of new copper cathode smelting capacity additions in China in 2025, many new copper cathode brands have been successively produced; traders have also contributed to cultivating these new brands. Against the backdrop of the US siphoning global copper cathode supplies in H1, traders actively coordinated supplies to assist industrial users.

To help promote the sustainable, healthy, harmonious, and efficient development of the domestic nonferrous metals industry, highlight high-quality enterprises, and set industry benchmarks, SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. (SMM) previously launched the 2025 SMM Nonferrous Metals Industry "Top 20 High-Quality Copper Traders" selection activity. This selection comprehensively utilized a multi-dimensional evaluation system: first, industry practitioners nominated high-quality trading enterprises; then, an expert review panel composed of SMM-specially invited metal industry supervisory leaders, industry experts, and executives from upstream and downstream leading and supporting companies conducted professional scoring. Combined with online voting results, SMM enterprise rating model scores, and other dimensions, the 2025 SMM Nonferrous Metals "Top 20 High-Quality Copper Traders" were ultimately selected.

On November 25, at the banquet of the Shanghai Metals Expo (SME) 2025 organized by SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. (SMM) and SMM Trading Center Co., Ltd., SMM held a grand awards ceremony for the 2025 SMM Nonferrous Metals Top 20 High-Quality Copper Traders.

Indirect Iran-US Nuclear Talks in Muscat Show Progress, Omani FM Mediates Tense but Efficient Discussions
After intensive indirect consultations, the new round of nuclear talks between Iran and the US in Muscat, the capital of Oman, has achieved phased progress. It is reported that during this round of talks, the Iranian and US delegations did not meet directly. Instead, Omani Foreign Minister Badr acted as an intermediary, conveying a series of core proposals, strategic concerns, and policy positions to the other side. The atmosphere at the talks was tense yet efficient. According to preliminary on-site assessments, although both sides continue to negotiate over specific terms, they have reached a consensus on the key objective of "continuing dialogue."
