At present, Brexit is still the main motivation affecting copper prices, and the British Parliament voted against the motion to quickly pass the Brexit bill, the market risk aversion mood has been revived, and the CMX gold price has basically remained stable at the 1500 level, which has also put bearish pressure on copper prices. The global economic situation has still not improved significantly, the US existing house sales data for September were lower than expected, the market further increased its expectations for the Fed to cut interest rates, and API crude oil stocks continued to rise sharply, reflecting that the market continues to be bearish on manufacturing demand, and there are no obvious positive signs in the economy as a whole, and there is some pressure on copper prices to rise. It is expected to fall back slightly today. In the spot aspect, because the disk is high, and the market long single demand weakens gradually, the demand for superimposed short-term bills is also basically completed, so the overall transaction is gradually light, the holder price has been relaxed. It is estimated that today's copper 5780-5820 US dollars / ton, Shanghai copper 46800-47100 yuan / ton, spot water 40-80 yuan / ton.
