Wuxi Hangtai Shines at SMM CCAE 2026 (15th) Copper Industry Conference

Published: Oct 13, 2026 14:22 (GMT+8)

As the opening year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, 2026 marks a critical stage for the global copper industry, characterized by supply-demand restructuring, technological innovation, and green transformation. Constrained by resources, costs, and geopolitics, copper supply growth remains limited, while new energy, new-type power grids, and AI computing power are generating substantial copper demand. The supply-demand gap continues to widen, making copper's strategic value increasingly prominent. Guided by the Implementation Plan for High-Quality Development of the Copper Industry (2025-2027), China's copper industry is accelerating its transition toward high-end, intelligent, and green development.

Against this backdrop, ,will be held on October 28-30atShangri-La Hotel, Nanchang, Jiangxi.Shanghai Metals Market (SMM)together withWuxi Hangtai Gas Application Technology Co., Ltd.cordially invites you to attend.The conference focuses on the high-quality development of the copper industry, bringing together stakeholders from industry, research, and finance to discuss technological innovation and resource coordination, driving China's copper industry from scale advantages to dual leadership in technology and value.

【Flash | Centinela Molybdenum Supply Risk Hinges on Renewed Talks as Strike Enters Day Seven】
Antofagasta Minerals’ Centinela mine and the Minera Esperanza and Distrito Centinela unions are due to resume voluntary mediation at 10:00 a.m. local time on Oct. 13. The strike involves 709 workers, or about 22% of the mine’s direct workforce. The company says operations have continued and its full-year production outlook remains unchanged. Centinela’s 2026 molybdenum guidance is 3,000–3,500 tonnes of contained metal, with about 1,400 tonnes produced in H1. No molybdenum output loss or recovery-circuit impact has been disclosed; SMM is not revising its forecast pending the talks.

[SMM SHFE Copper Spot] Looking ahead to tomorrow, as delivery approaches, the SHFE copper next-month Back spread has shown signs of marginal convergence, but it remains at a relatively high level overall, and suppliers still have willingness to sell. After spot premiums pulled back rapidly to near parity during the day, some suppliers' willingness to continue selling at low prices has diminished, and sentiment to hold prices firm and hold back from selling is gradually emerging, suggesting that further downside for spot premiums may be quite limited. As of midday, open interest in the SHFE copper 2610 contract stood at approximately 20,000 lots, and SHFE warrants totaled about 9,000 mt. With delivery approaching, attention should still be paid to market fluctuation risks arising from changes in near-month open interest, warrant volumes, and the next-month spread. On the demand side, downstream processing enterprises are still mainly adopting a wait-and-see approach and making just-in-time procurement, with limited willingness to chase higher prices. Overall, if the next-month Back spread continues to converge, pressure on the spot side is expected to ease somewhat. Shanghai spot premiums are expected to stop falling and stabilize tomorrow, with a possibility of a slight rebound.
