According to cable network monitoring data, from January to June 2016, China's cumulative imports of copper ore and its concentrate (stock code: 26030000) were about 8.
04 million tons, an increase of about 33.
55%
compared with the same period last year.
From January to June 2015, the cumulative import volume of copper ore and its concentrate was about
6.
02 million tons.
Customs data show that in the first quarter, China's imports of copper ore and its concentrate increased significantly, mainly due to the outbreak
of imports in January and February.
In addition to the factors of better import profitability from December last year to early January this year, the release of capacity and maintenance of some new smelters last year and this year have increased the demand for copper concentrate, while the domestic copper mine supply is difficult to meet the demand due to copper prices, and copper concentrate imports have been further increased
.
Data show that in May, the cumulative import of copper concentrate ushered in another uptrend, mainly because the spot processing fee of copper concentrate in May was close to 100 US dollars / ton
.
From the perspective of copper concentrate supply outlook, it is expected that copper concentrate supply will remain sufficient in the second half of the year, spot processing fees are likely to continue to rise, and copper concentrate imports are expected to maintain a high growth rate
.
However, copper concentrate imports are expected to grow faster in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year, or around 30%, as the negotiating team raised the minimum copper concentrate processing fee in the third quarter or dampened enthusiasm for mine shipments
.
