Nieoczekiwany spadek popytu na miedź we Chinach...
Jak można było się spodziewać, zbyt wysokie ceny, w połączeniu z ograniczaniem podaży pieniądza powodują spadek cen na dostawy bieżące i przesuwanie terminów odbioru zamówionych wyrobów. Zwykle popyt spadał dopiero w kwietniu, a mocniej w maju, obecnie wystąpiło to już w marcu. Na rynku jest masę surowca, z którym nie bardzo wiadomo co robić...
Demand for spot refined copper in China, the world's biggest market of the metal, is weakening because of high prices and tighter monetary policy, industry sources said on Thursday.
A copper tubes producer is expected to reduce the buying of spot refined copper by two-thirds in April from around 8,000 tonnes in March, a trade manager said.
"Demand is not as good as we had expected," he said, adding that 7,000-8,000 tonnes of the producer's copper tubes due to deliver in March had been delayed to April.
"March should have been the best month in the year (for copper tubes). But clients did not take all deliveries," the manager said.
"Demand usually falls in April and drops further in May."He said higher prices were prompting clients to put purchases on hold.
