Copper: copper jumped to a high of $4941 a tonne in the morning. Copper prices rebounded today as global recession stimulus measures in response to the epidemic continued and market concerns over Friday's larger-than-expected decline in non-farm data in the United States eased. In addition, the South American epidemic has a greater impact on the supply side, Chile and Peru copper mines and copper shipments are more difficult, and last week Mexico declared a state of emergency, there is a strong support below the copper price. As a result, after digging down $4937 / ton in the morning, copper prices rose in a straight line, with the overall center of gravity rising to $5010 / ton above the $5000 mark. Entering the European market, copper prices rose again, rising $5110 / tonne, to 18: 00, Lun copper prices of $5086.5 / tonne, up $177.00 / tonne, up 3.61 per cent. Evening economic data is light, follow-up attention to the epidemic situation in various countries and crude oil market production reduction news. At present, due to the market for the follow-up OPEC video conference production reduction expectations, the recent crude oil prices have also rebounded, good for the bulk. At present, there are many technical indexes of Lun copper, but we should be vigilant that there is a great pressure on the upper Brin middle rail at present.
