Em outubro, a taxa geral de operação das empresas de chapas e tiras de cobre foi de 64,97%.

[SMM Brass Billet Flash] According to SMM, the current tight supply of secondary brass remains unchanged, raw material prices stabilize at highs, and processing profit margins continue to be squeezed. This week, days of raw material inventories at sampled enterprises stood at 3.52 days, remaining low. However, downstream buyers mainly made just-in-time procurement, with weak willingness to restock proactively, and finished product inventory destocking was hindered once again. This week, days of finished product inventories at sampled enterprises stood at 5.11 days.

[SMM Flash de Tarugo de Latão] Para a próxima semana (9.4-9.10), os preços do cobre provavelmente se consolidarão em níveis elevados no curto prazo, mas espera-se uma leve liberação dos pedidos de demanda rígida downstream após a digestão gradual das cargas de baixo preço. A SMM espera que a taxa de operação se recupere levemente para 49,06%, um aumento de 0,57 ponto percentual em relação ao mês anterior.

[SMM Brass Rod Flash] This week (8.28-9.3), the operating rate of SMM brass rod sample enterprises was 48.49%, down 0.06 percentage points WoW. Copper prices continued to consolidate at highs, end-user wait-and-see sentiment remained strong, downstream orders lacked momentum, and the operating rate continued to edge down.
