China - Copper imports defy waning consumption, high stocks and negative arbitrage - 1 views
-
Despite the small drop in March copper imports, overall imports of copper to China remain at a high level. This may seem somewhat surprising in the light of the deeply unfavourable arbitrage, a deteriorating short-term consumption outlook and high inventory levels. CRU suggests that much of the material is imported by traders into bonded warehouses, who may be using copper as a financing mechanism to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities in other markets, such as in the RMB and interest rates. Bonded warehouses allow traders to easily re-export material out of China without incurring major costs, such as VAT. This allows them to take swift aversive action in case the outlook on Chinese consumption weakens further, while benefitting from the export-friendly arbitrage window. The slower growth in scrap imports is more reflective of the negative arbitrage and the temporary easing of the concentrates market following outages at PASAR's Leyte smelter and PPC's Saganoseki smelter.

Commercial Building Energy Efficiency Retrofits Will Surpass $127 Billion in Annual Market Value by 2023 - 0 views
-
Residential and commercial buildings account for 35 to 40 percent of total energy consumption worldwide. Commercial buildings, in particular, consume large amounts of energy related to heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, water heating, and other building systems.

Effective as of October, Kobelco & Materials Copper Tube (KMCT) intends to raise their rolling charge by ¥30-50/kg. The price hike, the first since 2005, is a result of surging fuel and raw material costs. 70% of the cost up is a consequence of higher energy and substantial materials prices, with the remaining 30% due to the increased value of productive loss. This announcement comes in the wake of a raft of similar announcements from other Japanese copper tube makers, with Hitachi Cable announcing a 5% increase, Sumitomo Light Metal Industries adding 10-15%, and Furukawa Electric raising charges by ¥50/kg.
