US Copper Scrap Prices Flattened On Chinese Covid Curbs
Copper Scrap prices in the US continued to decline for the second week since hitting 5-month highs on dampening demand concerns, especially from the top Scrap Metals consumer, China, because of new covid curbs.
Meanwhile, the hawkish remarks from US Federal Reserve officials about the further interest rate hike sent the dollar index higher, pushing Copper Scrap prices down. Asian stock markets were cautious due to the further interest rate hike, as employment and inflation data continued to show a tight US labour market, investors' hopes for less aggressive monetary policy in the US economy.
Recently, China has struggled with rising new covid curbs in industrial hubs such as Beijing and Guangzhou, mentioning poor economic performance this year. China partially relaxed COVID restrictions this week, and investors expected a surge in demand. Still, the effect of loosening some limitations has faded as cases have increased and new restrictions have been imposed, further undermining industrial activity.
However, the Chinese government has implemented several policies to strengthen the pandemic-hit economy. According to the National Business Daily, the Chinese province of Henan approved 26.2 billion yuan ($3.65 billion) in financing for troubled real estate projects and to ensure timely deliveries of pre-sold homes. Furthermore, according to ANZ Research, the Politburo Standing Committee meeting suggested that Beijing would take more targeted measures to avoid economic damage.
Additionally, according to a joint statement released by the ten copper producers, they pledged at the meeting to make recycled copper 25% of their total production by 2025. The top Copper producers are attempting to persuade the Chinese government to relax Copper Scrap import standards to improve their secondary production ratio; if this policy is implemented, higher Copper Scrap imports may occur in the coming days.
Along with the new Copper Scrap import policy and Chinese economic growth policies, we can expect stronger demand growth from China at the end of this year. Technically, the US Copper Scrap market is currently in a bearish trend, and the Copper price is expected to fall as global economic activities are still downward.
