Macro sentiment has moderated recently as the Fed has yet to cut interest rates, and emotional repair has pushed copper prices higher. At present, Lun Copper is still blocked above the US $6000 / ton mark, but the center of gravity is firmly on the middle track of Brin, and the technical indicators are strong and strong.

However, at the macro level, the market is waiting for the G20 summit to be held, and the uncertainty of the economic and trade atmosphere makes the market still cautiously bullish on copper prices. In the evening, waiting for the guidance of the outside market, test whether Shanghai copper can continue to explore and stand at the level of 47000 yuan / ton.
