High copper prices continued to pressure PCB assembly materials plant
Recently, the international copper price was touching $ 8,900 / t mark, another record high, even a slight pullback, are still on guard at $ 8,800. Home Copper Gold (8358) that the demand for PCB Assembly raw materials rose is not a cause, but the weak dollar caused the dollar can only hope that when up stabilized, and now there are half a month away from the December time The next trend in copper prices is hard to say, or to the average performance before deciding whether further price increases in December.
Golden Home frankly, although the trend can be adjusted according to quoted price of copper, but now the PCB Assembly market demand is relatively weak, often in such a time above, and not necessarily completely reflect the costs.
King Home also believes that the short term, market conditions will remain deserted, is expected to wait until after Chinese New Year, all stocks have been adjusted chain, the demand will rise significantly.
CCL plant part of October most of their downward trend in revenue, but also to the relatively low this year, also showed that China PCB assembly factory hands still held stock in no hurry to the occasion in the price of high-grade preparation. CCL industry in addition to the upstream face of the pressure on copper prices, but also the downstream face PCB Assembly plant customers and therefore has been in the third quarter, copper foil substrate plant can not afford to pass on, and even to digest inventory, for the heavyweight Customer reposition itself in price-cutting strategy.
Although copper glass cloth than no relationship, but with the copper foil substrate plant has linked, particularly for copper foil substrate to the main raw material, glass fiber cloth, mainly in copper prices could not resist the next, it only China PCB Assembly requirements can be turned to glass fiber cloth factory prices to reduce overall costs.
Copper foil substrate plant, says, glass fiber cloth factory prior to price rather insist, however, has emerged in recent months to loose in November also showed a slight re-price trend, price will be below the glass cloth 0.8 U.S. dollars per kilogram, below the year force the industry keep the $ 1 price.
