As of March 11, 2026, the global copper market maintains a sustained upward trend, with a sharp copper price hike. Both domestic and international copper futures and spot markets rise simultaneously, and copper prices break through key levels to hit periodic highs.

The average spot price of 1# electrolytic copper on the Yangtze Nonferrous Metals Market approaches 101,600 RMB/tonne, with copper prices fluctuating upward recently. Spot electrolytic copper supply is tight, and market trading runs at a high level.

As an industrial raw material for custom crafts, the continuous copper price increase has a direct impact on the entire crafts industry. The surge in electrolytic copper procurement costs pushes up the overall production and processing costs of craft manufacturers, bringing pressures to raw material stocking, production arrangement and finished product pricing. It becomes harder to control operating costs, and the pricing system of custom crafts market shows an adjustment trend.
