SMM4 23: the impact of negative oil prices on the market came to an end today, the non-ferrous metals market all rose, of which Shanghai tin rose 4.74%, Shanghai copper Shanghai lead also rose more than 2%. SMM believes that the recent tin market supply and demand weak pattern has not changed significantly, Shanghai tin prices are still affected by the epidemic and the macro situation at home and abroad fluctuated violently, today the main tin plate in Shanghai because of the overnight rise in crude oil prices and the previous sharp drop in the correction. The tin plate in Shanghai period may continue to maintain a high and wide shock pattern in the short term. It is expected that the resistance above the tin in Shanghai period is near the integer gate of 130000 yuan / ton, and the lower support is about 120000-122000 yuan / ton. Shanghai lead closed up 2.26%. In the medium term, supply is gradually increasing, consumption is relatively light, fundamentals are difficult to support prices, lead prices are expected to remain weak in May, but are expected to rise again in June. In the short term, lead prices are dominated by interval shocks, and technical attention has been paid to whether the upper edge of the shock range since March 27 can effectively break through. According to the nickel mine, the Indonesian director-general of coal and minerals said that the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has revised the rules on mineral prices, under which the monthly benchmark price set by Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources will be used as the floor price for nickel trading. The document said that the Ministry would allow the minimum price for the transaction to be 3 per cent lower than the reserve price.
The black series fell back in the afternoon, with iron ore up 0.17% and steel falling slightly. Today's inventory data show that steel weekly production continues to increase, while thread and other inventory digestion rate is not as expected, apparent consumption month-on-month decline led to today's black shock downward. On the demand side, the steel association said that in 2019, exports of mechanical and electrical products accounted for 58% of China's total exports. Many of the more affected countries and regions are our export destinations, so there may be a reduction in export orders, destruction of orders, and manufacturing steel demand is expected to decline. However, stepping up policies to hedge the impact of the epidemic, actively expanding domestic demand and supporting the transfer of enterprises' exports to domestic sales will help promote the resumption of manufacturing work and return to production.
Crude oil rose 7.26% in the previous period. The international oil market has been in sharp turmoil recently, and international oil prices have also soared today, as there are signs that oil-producing countries are cutting production to fend off a sharp drop in new demand, while Oklahoma has also taken action to help oil companies cut production. But analysts warned that the rally could be temporary because oil depots around the world were already full. Brent crude oil futures rose $1.36, or 6.68%, to $21.73 a barrel, while US crude oil futures rose $1.25, or 9.07%, to $15.03 a barrel.

Tensions in the United States and Iraq have also provided some support for oil prices. Oil prices have rebounded from record lows.
