China’s imports of unwrought copper and copper products fell to 4.211 million tonnes in January–October, down from 4.456 million tonnes in the same period a year earlier, according to a First Squawk post citing customs data. The roughly 245,000-tonne year-on-year decline points to softer Chinese demand for the metal despite its role as a key industrial input. Copper is closely watched as a gauge of global manufacturing and construction activity, so the weaker import figure may reinforce concerns about Chinese industrial momentum. Traders will watch upcoming monthly customs releases and downstream demand indicators for signs of whether the pullback persists.
