进入2000年以来,世界铜价年初虽继续了去年下半年的上扬之势,但势头受阻,一季度价格在高位徘徊,且月平均价呈下降之状。进入二季度铜的需求转入旺季,但4月份铜价并未回升,而是继续小幅回落,到5月份才开始回升,6月又呈现回落。尽管如此,今年上半年的平均铜价与去年同期相比,仍有较大增幅。预计全年,铜价仍具回升之势。 Since 2000, the beginning of the world copper price started the second half of last year though it continued its upward trend. However, the momentum was hindered. Prices in the first quarter hovered at a high level and the average monthly price dropped. Copper demand into the second quarter into the season, but in April copper prices did not rise, but continued to decline slightly until it began to pick up in May, again in June showed a decline. Nevertheless, the average copper price in the first half of this year still shows a large increase compared with the same period of last year. Expected throughout the year, copper prices are still rising trend.
