智利地震导致铜价攀升

2010-03-02来源:和谐英语
该报告称,智利占世界铜供应量的约三分之一。
The Standard Bank research note said Chile accounts for about one-third of the world's copper supply.

标准银行称,地震对智利的基础设施毁坏严重,特别是电力供应,致使约17%的铜生产受到影响。智利铜产量的17%相当于全球铜产量的近5%。无论如何,最初的迹象表明,铜生产受到影响的情况不会持续太久。
'But there was sufficient infrastructure damage to the country -- especially to power supply -- that around 17% of the country's copper production was disrupted,' Standard said. 'Seventeen percent of Chile's copper production equates to almost 5% of world copper production. However, initial indications are that major disruptions to copper production should not last long.'

标准银行称初期报告表明,位于智利首都以北的大型铜矿,包括Escondida、Collahuasi和Chuquicamata等均未受到严重影响。
Early reports indicate that the large copper mines north of the capital, including Escondida, Collahuasi and Chuquicamata, weren't affected significantly, Standard said.

智利国家铜业公司的El Teniente和Andina两矿被迫关闭,但该公司称预计两矿很快将恢复运营; 后来又宣布El Teniente已恢复运营,但Andina仍然关闭。
Codelco's El Teniente and Andina operations were shut down, but Codelco said it hoped both would be open soon and later announced it was reopening El Teniente; Andina was still closed.

标准银行称,其它受影响的铜矿包括:英美资源集团(Anglo American PLC)的Los Bronces和Anglo公司的El Soldado。
Other operations that were affected, Standard said, were Anglo American PLC's Los Bronces mine and Anglo's El Soldado mine.

标准银行称,至少目前智利的出口大部分应该不受影响。尽管圣安东尼奥的港口已经关闭,但Antofagasta和Mejillones的港口看来未受太大影响。
For now at least, Standard said, exports from Chile may be 'largely unaffected.' While port activities at San Antonia are closed, the ports of Antofagasta and Mejillones don't appear to have had a major impact.

普莱特说,铜价存在过度上涨的风险。
There is a risk that the rally in copper prices could become 'overdone,' Mr. Platt said.

与周五下跌的收盘价相比,在Comex通过电子交易的五月铜期货的开盘价上涨了约10美分,随后迅速上扬。
May copper opened electronic trading on Comex roughly a dime above Friday's pit close and quickly accelerated to the upside.
