Copper prices have remained at a high level in 2026, creating cost pressure across the hardware machining industry. On September 4, China’s Yangtze River spot price for 1# copper reached RMB 110,050 per ton, while LME copper closed at USD 14,333.5 per ton. Earlier this year, Shanghai copper once rose to RMB 114,617 per ton, showing that price volatility remains a key market challenge.
