SMM4 month 7: this morning non-ferrous metals rose across the board, the market trading mood warmed up. Us stocks rose more than 7 per cent after the central bank announced a 1 percentage point target reduction for small and medium-sized banks, releasing about 400 billion yuan in long-term funds. At the same time, it was decided to cut the interest rate on excess reserves held by financial institutions with the central bank from 0.72% to 0.35% from April 7. Moreover, schools in many places have opened today. In addition, from April 8, Wuhan has resumed the operation of parade taxis and long-distance bus stations, and the domestic epidemic has come to an end. Shanghai aluminium rose 1.04 per cent, with SMM data showing that inventories of electrolytic aluminium were down 41000 tonnes to 1.635 million tonnes from the previous Thursday. The lieutenant governor of New Mexico said employees at the Freeport McMullen mine in New Mexico, the world's largest listed copper producer, had been confirmed. It is not clear whether the mine's operations have been affected. The mine, located near the southwestern border with Arizona, produced 175 million pounds of copper last year, making it the third largest North American mine in terms of production at Freeport McMullen. SMM will continue to track global mine production.

Black thread fell 0.09%, iron ore fell 0.88%, hot coil rose 0.33%. In the morning, the black line is relatively weak compared with other varieties, and the inventory is still high. Scrap prices continue to fall, so more electric furnace plant cost lines continue to move down, increasing production. Moreover, some blast furnace plants adjust the hot metal ratio to increase the use of scrap steel has also dragged down the demand for iron ore. In terms of plates, due to the spread of the epidemic overseas, the import and export of plates have been greatly affected, demand is low, prices may continue to fall.

Crude oil rose 3.68% in the previous period. The recent ups and downs of oil prices are mainly due to the fact that the timing of the crude oil meeting has not yet been determined. On the date, a senior Russian negotiator said Saudi Arabia and Russia were on the verge of agreeing on a production limit agreement aimed at reducing global oil oversupply, while sources in Moscow said Russia was ready to cut production sharply ahead of this week's talks. Given the sharp drop in demand as a result of the blockade measures to curb the spread of the new crown virus, the total production cuts proposed to date of 10 million barrels per day may not be sufficient to stabilize the global oil market. Mr Trump has said the deal between Saudi Arabia and Russia could cut production by the equivalent of 10-15 per cent of global supply.
