国家统计局：冷料供应愈发紧张，7月中国铜产量环比微降

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report indicates that China's refined copper (electrolytic copper) production in July 2025 reached 1.27 million tons, representing a year-on-year increase of 14% [1] - Newly commissioned smelters are rapidly increasing their capacity utilization, while previously underperforming smelters are resuming production; however, some smelters are experiencing slight reductions in output due to tightening supply of raw materials [1] - In August, only one smelter had maintenance plans, and the reduction in output due to maintenance was minimal; however, the number of smelters reducing production due to tight supply of copper concentrate and raw materials increased compared to July [1] Group 2 - The end of maintenance and the ongoing ramp-up of newly commissioned smelters in East China are expected to stimulate production [1]
