China's imports of unwrought copper and semi-finished copper products over the January-May period fell 7% year-on-year to 2.01 million tonnes, new data released by the General Administration of Customs (GACC) show.

The decline was partly attributable to persistently high international copper prices, a factor that had significantly dampened Chinese buyers' purchasing appetite, Mysteel Global notes. Prices for three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange remained elevated during January-May, with the average price during this period standing at $13,041/tonne, marking a surge
