Record Copper Output in China Seen by Antaike on Smelter Fees
Copper output in China is set to remain at record levels for the rest of 2013 as high treatment fees encourage smelters in the biggest producer to run at full capacity.
Monthly production in the fourth quarter may be about 560,000 metric tons, matching an all-time high in August and above average output of 534,112 tons for the first eight months, said Yang Changhua, an analyst at Beijing Antaike Information Development Co.
