Copper: Yapanlun copper opened at $5041 a tonne today and was spurred by a sharp rise in US stocks and crude oil last night. Copper prices quickly rose to $5071 a tonne. Due to the market on the development of the epidemic, the progress of the OPEC+ meeting and other macro factors have greater uncertainty, copper prices recently rebounded after the long began to profit-taking, copper prices then entered the downward range. After entering the European session, copper prices continued to fall, low down to $5004.5 / ton, testing $5000 support. At 17: 00, Lun Copper closed down 0.15% at $5015 a tonne, with the dollar index at 100.080 and US crude oil at $26.25 a barrel. Pay attention to the outcome of the negotiations at the OPEC+ meeting in the evening. At present, the copper is negative, there is a 5-day moving average support below, the upper pressure Brin middle rail, copper price operation range is gradually established. Waiting for guidance from the dollar and crude oil at night, test whether Lun copper can hold on to the integer level of $5000 per tonne.

Today, the Shanghai copper main force contract 2005 opened higher at 40980 yuan / ton in the morning, and the opening short entry pulled up the copper price to a daily high of 41080 yuan / ton. After a small drop, the copper price hit the 41000 yuan / ton mark again, but the rally was unsustainable. The main force of Shanghai copper fell down the daily average line all the way down to 40790 yuan / ton, the center of gravity stabilized in this position, closed at 40800 yuan / ton in the afternoon, and tried to push again in the afternoon opening session, but gradually weakened after climbing to 40870 yuan / ton. And maintain a small shock around 40840 yuan / ton. Near the end of the day, the price of copper fell again to a daily low of 40690 yuan / ton, and a small amount in the last session rebounded slightly to close at 40800 yuan / ton, up 180 yuan / ton, or 0.44%. The daily position of the main contract of Shanghai Copper increased by 241 hands to 101000 hands, mainly for the reduction of long positions, while the trading volume decreased by 27000 hands to 50000 hands.

Shanghai copper index daily position reduction of 1739 hands, to 333000 hands, mainly for short reduction; trading volume decreased by 70000 hands to 141000 hands. Within the day, the main force of Shanghai copper opened high and walked low, and the center of gravity was significantly higher than yesterday, mainly due to the warming of market expectations of a production reduction agreement to be reached at the upcoming OPEC+ meeting today. Russia has also expressed its willingness to cut production and pull up oil prices in the short term, which will have an impact on copper prices. However, at present, the contradiction between supply and demand of international crude oil is extremely serious. India, as the third largest crude oil importer in the world, its crude oil demand has been sharply reduced by 70% as a result of the epidemic blockade measures, confirming the market's dimmer expectations of crude oil demand under the influence of the epidemic. Investors have reservations about the continued improvement in oil prices. The chairman of the Euro Group said yesterday that finance ministers had not agreed on a rescue plan for nearly 500 billion new pneumonia outbreaks and that market sentiment was becoming more fragile. Today, Shanghai copper closed in Yang, MACD Hongzhu slightly expanded, copper prices gradually away from the 20-day moving average. However, in the past two days, the 41000 yuan / ton pass is weak and the bulls are short of energy. Pay attention to the guidance of the evening bronze and the performance of the bulls.

In the case of fruitless transaction, good copper is the first to fall to 110-120 yuan / ton, and flat water copper is reduced to 90-100 yuan / ton. In the second trading stage, there are still few transactions, but the holder speeds up the rate of price reduction, and good copper drops to 80-90 yuan / ton, which is still rarely favored. Pingshui copper in order to lower the transaction to 70 yuan / ton still has room to depress the price, wet copper significantly reduced to 40 ~ 60 yuan / ton, lack of attention, downstream to maintain just need. Today, the holder of the entanglement, cash exchange and the willingness to raise water contradiction glued, the lack of support in the market transaction is difficult to mention, high copper prices make it difficult for the market to stop.

From a macro point of view, the trend of crude oil prices is still uncertain, we need to pay attention to the results of the negotiations at tonight's meeting, but Lun aluminum is difficult to change because of its weak fundamentals. LME aluminum warehouse receipts have a high level of storage. Today, another 12250 tons will be added to the disk.

It is expected that tomorrow the Shanghai aluminum main company 2006 contract operating range is difficult to break away from the 5 / 10 moving average, concussion runs in 11500-11700 yuan / ton.
