Some manufacturers expect the copper price rose to 80 yuan / kg or more will be a big probability event at end of the year.
About this，copper foil manufacturers said that rapid growth of battery-grade copper foil squeezed the production of circuit board copper foil result in circuit board copper price from the previous 60 yuan / kg increased by 30% to 76-78 yuan / kg.
