SHANGHAI, Mar 7 (SMM) - According to SMM's prediction, China Daye headquarters, Jiangxi Copper, Tongling Jinguan, Qinghai Copper and other smelters will enter the maintenance period from April. Considering the continuous recovery of South American port capacity, active overseas mine production and the upcoming official announcement of Chile's QB2 putting into production, SMM expects that spot TCs may pick up in the first half of the second quarter.
