The dollar fell four days last week, with only 75000 of non-farm payrolls reported on Friday, well below expectations and previous values, and expectations for the Fed to cut interest rates rose again. At present, the supply and demand of copper in the periphery is weak, the maintenance of domestic enterprises is gradually over, the market is facing the release of supply, the demand side is about to enter the off-season, the downstream start-up falls back to the low level, the later trade war is faced with great uncertainty, and the copper price may aggravate the fluctuation. According to SMM, the output affected by maintenance from January to May is close to 192000 tons for the whole of last year. Up to now, the capacity utilization rate of Chinalco Ningde is less than 80%. The refeeding time of Guangxi Nanguo Copper Industry has been moved back to late June, and the Chifeng Jinfeng Phase I project will not be officially fed until around 18 May. The whole new expansion project has been put into production and the time to reach production has shifted backward.

The recovery of shipping volume has been close to the normal level, but the contradiction between supply and demand accumulated for a long time still exists, and the macro global economic recession and the impact of the Sino-US trade war continue to put pressure on mine prices. The pullback in the first two weeks released some pressure, iron ore prices have a stabilizing trend, in the medium to long term, supply-side speculation will continue to support iron ore prices. On the steel side, supply-side profits have been eroded, but short-term high production will continue to be maintained, the demand side into the off-season. In the case of strong supply and weak demand, the thread trend has adjusted demand.
