On the macro front, the National Development and Reform Commission announced at a press conference in October this morning: first, the operation of electric power. From the point of view of power generation, from January to September this year, the national industrial power generation increased by 3.0% compared with the same period last year, an increase of 0.2 percentage points from January to August.

As for copper, the eighth Interactive Summit on spot Futures of Nonferrous Metals in China opened recently. Fu Peng, chief economist of Northeast Securities, delivered a keynote speech on "interest rate, Exchange rate and Commodity Market Outlook" at the meeting. Fu Peng said that commodities represented by copper depend largely on demand, but commodity demand is divided into two main categories: authentic demand and financial demand. The impact of financial demand on prices is critical. In addition, BHP Billiton (BHP), the world's largest miner, said on Monday that it had signed four renewable energy agreements to provide energy support to all its Chilean copper projects from 2021, a move that would reduce energy costs by 20 per cent. In the past, fossil fuels were basically used as energy supply in mines, but with the decline in the cost of wind and solar energy, as well as the increasing pressure from society and shareholders to address climate change, many mining enterprises have switched to renewable energy.

Aluminum, Citic Construction Investment said the fundamentals see alumina prices have rebounded, the cost side has some support. However, the supply of overseas alumina is more adequate, to a certain extent, the internal price is suppressed. The electrolytic aluminum production capacity that stopped production in the early stage of the supply side began to recover gradually, superimposed on the expectation of new production capacity in the fourth quarter, and the pressure on the supply side increased, which was highlighted in November and December. On the inventory side, inventories of aluminum ingots in consumer areas totaled 916000 tons on Thursday, down 29000 tons from last Thursday.

In terms of zinc, CITIC Construction Investment said that at present, the impact of environmental protection and production restrictions is limited, and the production situation of the smelter is better. Under the condition that the processing fee is still high, the production enthusiasm of the smelter is maintained, and the inventory increases slowly with the increase of supply. The market shipment mood is not high, the market overall trading is relatively light. At present, the slight recovery of domestic zinc inventory is one of the important factors in the weakening of zinc price. At the same time, most of the positions are short, the confidence of the bulls is insufficient, and the spot rising water has declined slightly. However, the trend of outer disk zinc is strong, in the case of LME inventory continues to decline, with upward momentum.

In the aspect of lead, the trend of lead in Shanghai is led by lead, the trend of lead in Shanghai has slowed down, and the action on lead in Shanghai can be weakened. From the domestic fundamentals, most of the post-festival primary lead smelting enterprises are in a state of recovery, and the pressure on the supply side has increased in October. The high purchasing enthusiasm of downstream storage enterprises is low, and it is currently at the end of the lead traditional consumption season, and the demand side is weakening. Fundamentals do not have too many factors, Shanghai lead rebound is expected to be limited.

On the black side, iron ore fell 0.57%, while hot coil threads also fell slightly. The black department did not continue last week's sharp decline on the first day of the week, and the performance was fairly stable. The panic in the market seems to have improved. Iron ore Meike futures said that Australian maintenance continued to Brazil arrival port is low, short-term supply-end pressure is small, port inventory last week due to policy interference inventory accumulation, this week may stabilize; demand side, steel mill profit contraction port no shortage of goods, there is no centralized replenishment plan, but low inventory rigid procurement is still resilient; short-term iron ore contradiction or concussion operation.

Crude oil fell slightly in the morning. Russian domestic news agencies reported on Sunday that Russia's crude oil output in September was higher than the target set in its cut-off agreement as the country increased condensate production in preparation for the winter. Russian crude oil production in September fell slightly to 11.25 million barrels a day from 11.29 million barrels a day in August, but still above the target set in the global production agreement.
