The Japan Copper and Brass Association said on 24 November preliminary data shows Japan's output of copper and copper alloy fabricated products, including sheets and tubes, dropped 12% y/y in October, to 69,218 tonnes. This is the 15th consecutive month of decline, but October production was the highest level and the slowest drop since last November. Demand for pipes for air conditioners remains subdued, but there is some recovery in the semiconductor, auto and electronics sectors.

Japanese copper wire and cable shipments in October were down 14.3% y/y at 61,000 tonnes, but up 5.2% m/m from 57,984 tonnes in September, according to data provided by the Japanese Electric Wire and Cable Makers' Association on 20 November. Only the power and telecommunications sectors saw y/y rises in October shipments: power industry shipments rose 15.6% y/y to 8,100 tonnes, the largest volume since 8,427 tonnes in November 2001. But this was more than offset by declines in the construction, automobile, home appliance and export sectors.

shared by Caroline Millar on 20 Nov 09 - No snapshot

Caroline Millar on 20 Nov 09

The global copper market was in a deficit of 58,000 tonnes in January-September 2009, compared with a surplus of 27,000 tonnes in the same period last year, according to the World Bureau of Metal Statistics (WBMS) report released on 18 November. Global consumption rose fractionally to 13.87 million tonnes while Chinese apparent consumption increased 47% to 5.47 million tonnes. The British-based consultancy said this masks a build up of unreported stocks, since output of semi manufactures increased only 16.67%.

According to data released by the US International Trade Commission, copper imports in September soared to 56,012 tonnes, up by more than 50% compared to August. Larger import volumes provide optimism for economic recovery in the US. The US stimulus plan amounts to US$787 billion and until now only a fifth to a quarter has been spent. Maximum results of the stimulus programme are expected to be realised in Q4 2009 - Q2 2010.
