Igusan Industry, established in 1968, is a non-ferrous metal specialized manufacturer. It produces industrial copper and brass plates using copper as a raw material. Because of this, it has a business structure that becomes more profitable when copper prices rise.
The international copper (spot) price was trading at the low 8,000 USD per ton level at the beginning of this year, but started an upward trend from March, soaring past 9,600 USD per ton. The U.S. showing moves to impose large-scale tariffs on Chinese steel products is also interpreted as influencing the stock price increase.
