(ICSG) ibike nge-23 kaSeptemba ukuba imveliso yobhedu olucociweyo kwihlabathi liphela ukususela ngoJanuwari ukuya kuJuni inyuke nge-3.2% unyaka nonyaka, imveliso yobhedu olucociweyo (kubandakanya i-electrolysis kunye nokuphumelela nge-electrowinning) iphezulu nge-3.5% kunaleyo yonyaka ofanayo, kwaye imveliso yobhedu oluvuselelweyo oluveliswe kwi-copper elahliweyo iphezulu nge-1.7% kunaleyo yonyaka ofanayo. Imveliso yobhedu olucociweyo eTshayina inyuke nge-6% kwixesha likaJanuwari-Juni ukusuka kunyaka ophelileyo, ngokwezibalo ezisemthethweni zokuqala. Imveliso yobhedu olucociweyo eChile ibiphantsi nge-7% kunexesha elifanayo kunyaka ophelileyo, kunye nobhedu olucociweyo lwe-electrolytic lunyuke nge-0.5%, kodwa ubhedu olucociweyo lwe-electrolurgiska luhle nge-11%. E-Afrika, imveliso yobhedu olucociweyo eDemocratic Republic of the Congo inyuke nge-13.5% unyaka nonyaka njengoko imigodi emitsha yobhedu ivulwa okanye izityalo ze-hydrometallurgical zanda. Imveliso yobhedu olucociweyo eZambia inyuke nge-12% njengoko abanyibilikisi besinyithi bebuya bevela ekuvalweni kwemveliso nakwiingxaki zokusebenza ngo-2019 nasekuqaleni kuka-2020. Imveliso yobhedu olucociweyo e-US inyuke nge-14% unyaka nonyaka njengoko abanyibilikisi besinyithi bebuya bevela kwiingxaki zokusebenza ngo-2020. Idatha yokuqala ibonise ukwehla kwemveliso eBrazil, eJamani, eJapan, eRashiya, eSpain (SX-EW) naseSweden ngezizathu ezahlukeneyo, kubandakanya ukuvalwa kwezixhobo zokulungisa, iingxaki zokusebenza kunye nokuvalwa kwezityalo ze-SX-EW.
