Copper smelters' maintenance capacity in September increased month - on - month. Some small and medium - sized smelters in the DRC reduced production in September 2025 due to water - power supply shortages, and the Zambian government plans to restrict the export of sulfuric acid to the DRC [2]. - Demand: The expectation of the traditional consumption peak season has led to a recovery in demand in some copper - processing industries.
