Industry Dynamics - Copper: SMM predicts that the comprehensive operating rate of the enameled wire industry in October will drop to 67.66%, a month - on - month decrease of 0.46 percentage points. Although it is a year - on - year increase of 2.44 percentage points, the overall operation is slow. The National Day holiday led to some enameled wire enterprises having holidays or reducing production, directly dragging down the industry's operating rate. From the demand side, the demand for enameled wires from power transformers and new - energy - related end - users is stable and improving, and there is also an expectation of warming in the end - user home appliance demand. However, high copper prices significantly suppress orders, and enterprises are cautious about order growth expectations [8]. - Aluminum: Rio Tinto (RIO) achieved significant growth in the production of key products in the third quarter. Bauxite production climbed to 16.4 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 9%; alumina production increased by 7% to 1.9 million tons; copper production also increased by 10% to 204,000 tons. The company's CEO pointed out that its bauxite business and the Oyu Tolgoi mine both set production records.
