Copper: today, the Shanghai Copper main 1804 contract opened at 51200 yuan / tonne. after opening, the center of gravity moved slowly upward driven by short positions, and rushed up to 51,900 / ton at the end of the session, a line away from the integer level of 52000 yuan / tonne. however, bulls began to reduce their positions. Copper prices fell slightly to close at 51710 yuan per ton, down 90 yuan per tonne, with positions up 1642 hands to 236000 hands and trading volume up 9842 hands to 269000 hands.

Aluminum: the main contract of Shanghai Aluminum opened at 14185 yuan / ton in the morning. after the opening of the market, the price of aluminum rose sharply under the level of more than one entry, once touching a high of 14565 yuan / ton, but the 10-day moving average and 14500 yuan / ton integer barrier resistance was stronger, and the high short and multi-closed positions were closed.

On the one hand, the current low aluminum price has slowed the release of new production capacity, on the other hand, it has dampened the enthusiasm of electrolytic aluminum enterprises that shut down during the heating season, so the release of the supply side has slowed down. at the same time, from the current situation of SMM research, After the Spring Festival, the orders of downstream enterprises have performed better, and the intensity of inventory removal has even exceeded expectations. therefore, it is difficult to say that aluminum prices will continue to leak sharply. at present, the prices have fully fed back their previous views. in the short term, aluminum prices are expected to continue to try to rise. However, given the downward shift in post-saving costs and the performance of aluminum ingots in stock, it is expected that the fluency will be hampered.
