Early- to mid-month, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East lifted marine insurance and bunker costs, while downstream restocking in Asia ahead of Labour Day and Golden Week kept export order books active. Expectations for faster AI-driven data-centre expansion in the U.S. also supported longer-term interest in high-conductivity components. At the same time, elevated mill operating rates in Taiwan kept spot inventories thin, creating a backdrop where global refined supply coexisted with regional logistical premiums. These combined pressures helped Copper wire maintain a firmer trajectory through April, reinforcing a market shaped by both structural and short-term influences.
Copper wire demand was driven primarily by digital infrastructure projects, with AI and data-centre expansion continuing to support high-conductivity applications. This strength helped lift Copper wire (*.* inch) CFR San...
