SMM4, March 10: today's morning non-ferrous metals market red fat green thin, as of 09:30, Shanghai tin up nearly 3%, Shanghai nickel up nearly 2.2%, Shanghai aluminum rose nearly 1%, Shanghai lead rose nearly 0.7%, Shanghai copper fell nearly 0.1%, Shanghai zinc fell nearly 0.8%, thanks to the improvement of the macro atmosphere, non-ferrous metals have rebounded since this week, but because of their different supply and demand conditions, the strength of the rebound is obviously different.
Shanghai tin rose rapidly, leading the rise in non-ferrous metals again today, it was reported yesterday that Tianma, the world's largest tin producer, announced that it would delay some exports in March after the outbreak. The company also said it would cut production by 20 to 30 per cent that month while measuring global demand. JFX sales fell 38 per cent in March from a month earlier to 4605 tonnes. Other private tin smelters are also traded through the exchange, but Tianma produces most of the refined tin. Tin concentrate sales fell in March through Jakarta Futures Exchange (JFX), Indonesia's main tin exchange, after Tianma announced a cut in production, and Alpha Ming's tin concentrate production fell 5 per cent in the first quarter.
Aluminum, according to SMM statistics, domestic electrolytic aluminum social inventory since December 30 started storage cycle, three months in a row significantly increased to 1.676 million tons. Into early April, the initial inflection point of inventory, April 9 electrolytic aluminum social inventory fell 69000 tons from the previous Thursday to 1.607 million tons. The decline in supply and the rise in superimposed demand is the direct reason why Guangdong aluminum ingots have gone to the warehouse more than expected recently. However, as the negative impact of the export side is gradually transmitted to the processing enterprises, there is a risk that orders will fall back in the later stage, and the continuous rise in spot aluminum ingots will allow for a certain growth space for subsequent arrivals. In the short term, Guangdong aluminum ingot inventory will continue to decline, but the rate of storage will slow down.

Crude oil fell nearly 2.2 per cent last period as investors reacted negatively to the cut in production being discussed by the OPEC+, as oil-producing countries led by Saudi Arabia and Russia tried to hammer out a cut in production to address the growing glut amid a 30 per cent drop in global fuel demand. However, analysts said the final cut in OPEC+ production was likely to be lower than expected, adding that the recession triggered by the pandemic had caused too much damage to demand and the problem was not easy to solve.

Early strong stimulus policies began to release liquidity, the dollar index brushed the recent one-week low to 99.35; 2. Copper raw material supply, including copper concentrate and scrap copper shortage caused by concerns about the supply end of electric copper for some time to come.
