2 The Chinese Copper Market Prospects for 2012 Analysis and forecasts down the full supply chain, from raw materials, through smelting, refining, semi-fabricating and end-use markets Smelter operating rates, capacity additions and by-products analysis Policy impact analysis Unique and exclusive surveys on operating rates at China s wire rod producers, cable makers, tube/pipe producers and plate/sheet/strip mills Pricing: TC/RCs, scrap rates, metal prices, arbitrage, premiums Restocking, destocking or new inventory management strategies? NEW Metal Bulletin Research has partnered with one of the leading authorities on metal markets in China to produce a comprehensive and in-depth study on the copper sector. This study, The Chinese Copper Market Prospects for 2012 provides unique and independent research, insightful on-theground analysis and authoritative forecasts on China s copper market, and its impact on the broader global copper marketplace. During the downturn in prices that dominated the second half of 2011, copper saw its price remain more resilient than the other base metals, never coming close to threatening its marginal costs of production. Whether it stays this way or it is pulled down in line with the other metals trading around their marginal costs, largely depends on China. China s appetite, strategies and policies hold the key to the fate of the global market this year more than ever. It is a year that starts with the Chinese economy in a slowdown and ends with a change of leadership, and has as a backdrop the threat of a global recession and global financial crisis emanating from the debt and banking fiasco in Europe. Will China save the world again? Metal Bulletin Research and Shanghai Metals Market have teamed up to publish an in-depth study, The Chinese Copper Market Prospects for 2012 that provides unique analysis and an independent outlook on supply, demand and pricing in China s copper and associated markets. For the full year of 2011, Metal Bulletin Research secured a Top 4 position on the leaderboard for the Apex survey, the Metal Bulletin service that tracks performance of more than 20 top base metal price forecasters, with an accuracy rate of 95.9%.

3 The Chinese Copper Market Prospects for 2012 is a timely study providing crucial analysis and independent forecasts. Objectives of The Chinese Copper Market Prospects for 2012 study: l To present detailed data and insights into China s self-sufficiency in copper supply, from in-ground reserves and resources, to scrap collection, to smelter capacity additions and utilisation; l To discuss the outlook for China s power, construction, appliance, electronics, and auto industries in 2012; l To provide supply-demand balances and price forecasts for the Chinese and global copper markets in Why is this study essential reading? l Offers access to exclusive and authentic data; l Written by experienced individuals with industry knowledge in copper markets; l Contains exclusive surveys conducted on the ground in China; l Provides valuable industry analysis right down China s copper supply chain; l Presents detailed Chinese copper supply and demand data for 2011 and forecast for Structure of Chinese copper consumption China s copper supply-demand balance Supply and demand balance Premiums or discounts % 10% Power Transportation % 46% Household appliances Electronics 0 0 Others % 11% Construction Source: SMM and Metal Bulletin Research Source: SMM and Metal Bulletin Research Charts are for illustrative purposes.
