During the week (7.17-7.23), the operating rate of enamelled wire production equipment fell 2.07 percentage points WoW, and weekly orders taken pulled back 4.18% WoW. The industry was in a traditional off-season of demand, with weak support from end-user rigid demand, while a significant surge in copper prices directly suppressed downstream procurement pace, leading to a sharp drop in orders placed during the week, which directly caused a notable weakening in orders taken this week.
