Reuters reported that According to China National Bureau of Statistics, China¡¯s refined copper output in September rose by 6.8% from a year ago to its highest level since December 2014. The NBS data said that refined copper production was 774,000 tonnes last month, up 3.3% from 749,000 tonnes in August.
Over the first three quarters, copper output was up 6.3% versus the same period a year ago at 6.608 million tonnes because of high demand for the metal in the world¡¯s largest copper consumer.
Meanwhile, lead output rose last month by 7% from a year ago to 427,000 tonnes, the NBS reported. September output was up 6.5% from August.
From January to September, lead production rose by 5.3% versus the year ago period to 3.76 million tonnes.
China¡¯s iron ore production nudged up 2.2% from the previous year to 119.13 million tonnes in September, reaching its highest level since June. Output was 975.684 million tonnes during the first three quarters.
Among other nonferrous metals, zinc output in September slipped by 2.7 percent year-on-year to 537,000 tonnes. However, September production was the highest since June as smelters ramped up operations after the peak maintenance and environmental inspection period passed. Year-to-date, zinc output was down 2.5 percent at 4.494 million tonnes.
