SMM, 24 April:

This week, basic metals were affected by the disturbance of international crude oil prices, and there was a trend of rising and falling back. WTI plunged to a negative value in May, then spread to far-month contracts, and global commodities were dragged down. In China, because of the sharp decline in (LPR) in the central bank loan market, the one-year and five-year LPR were cut by 20 and 10 basis points respectively from the previous period, boosting the basic metals. Under the recovery of crude oil, the low level of basic metals rebounded and recovered some of the decline. SMMI fell 0.11% per week. Among them, the worst decline was zinc, Lun zinc four consecutive negative, Shanghai zinc weekly decline 1.9%, spot rising water rose, SMMI.Zn weekly fell 1.48%. Lun copper fell from $5200 to $5100.

Shanghai aluminum fluctuated in the range of 12000-12500 yuan. Spot water rose from 20 yuan to 60 yuan. During the week, the low trading volume was large, and SMMI.Al rose 2.5%. Early next week will usher in the domestic two sessions, the market looks forward to the latest policy guidance, market confidence will further boost, next week will approach May Day short holiday, pre-holiday consumption is expected, various metals continue to go to the warehouse cycle, prices will therefore be supported to pick up momentum, but guard against the final risk aversion before the festival.

Copper: this week Lun copper failed to continue last week's rally, the center of gravity is slightly lower than last week. It is mainly affected by the collapse of international crude oil prices. The price of the US crude oil WTI5 monthly futures contract plunged sharply and even historically fell into a negative range, offsetting the optimism brought about by the resumption of the US economic plan. The panic caused by the negative monthly contract price of WTI5 has been transmitted to the far-monthly contracts in the international crude oil market, aggravating the market concern about demand, the market risk aversion is strong, and copper prices have also fallen sharply. Monday's copper opened at $5197.5 / ton, maintained above $5200 / ton for a short period of time, peaking at $5248 / ton. Copper prices then fell all the way below the $5200 mark, hitting as low as $4953 a tonne. The price of crude oil stopped falling and rebounded in the middle of the week as market expectations of further production cuts, superimposed tensions in the United States and Iraq and increased market expectations for further economic stimulus measures introduced by governments, funds re-flowed into commodities, and copper prices got rid of the decline of the previous few days and rebounded. Copper prices were affected by insufficient macroeconomic confidence over the weekend to give up their gains, and the upper 40-day moving average showed technical pressure. There is no significant change in fundamentals, and supply-side tensions continue to support copper prices below. This week, Lunlun Copper held a position of 259000 hands; trading volume increased by 14000 hands to 66000 hands. On Friday, copper fell 2 per cent to around $5100 a tonne, with a 40-day moving average above. On the technical side, there is still pressure for copper prices to break through upward, and new energy is needed to push up the price.

This week, the main trend of copper in Shanghai is V-shaped, and the center of gravity is basically flat compared with last week. China's central bank loan market quotation rate (LPR) fell sharply at the beginning of the week, one-year and five-year LPR fell by 20 and 10 basis points respectively from the previous period, which was significantly good for copper prices. Copper prices rose sharply, opening at 41860 yuan / ton in Shanghai on Monday, reaching a peak of 42630 yuan / ton. However, the volatility of the oil market played a leading role in the trend of copper in Shanghai this week. Dragged down by international crude oil prices, commodities fell across the board. The main force of copper in Shanghai also fell sharply, opening low for two consecutive days, giving up all the gains at the beginning of the week, with the lowest point falling 40350 yuan / ton. Fundamentals, supply and domestic depot to form a support for copper prices. The National Bureau of Statistics announced that China's refined copper production in March was 2.5 percent lower than that of the same period last year, indicating that China's copper smelting and production activities have indeed been hit by the epidemic, and the tight supply of overseas mines has not improved. This week, Chilean miner Antofagasta announced that it would lower its 2020 copper production target due to the epidemic. Bonded inventories fell further this week. Overall, domestic copper supply is tight to support copper prices. Spurred by the reverse rise in oil prices a week later, Shanghai copper rebounded on Thursday, hitting the 42000 yuan / ton mark again, stabilizing its center of gravity at 41800 yuan / ton. At present, the main force of Shanghai copper closed at 41780 yuan / ton, a weekly decline of 1.18 per cent. This week, the main position of copper in Shanghai decreased by 1481 hands to 113000 hands, mainly for the reduction of long positions, while trading volume increased by 153000 hands to 531000 hands. At present, Shanghai copper is close to the 5th, 10th and 40th moving averages, and the bulls show fear of heights at the 42000 yuan / ton level. They continue to pay attention to the policy trends of various countries and the situation of international oil prices, and test whether Shanghai copper can stand at the 42000 yuan / ton level.

The spot market, which rose this week compared with last week, continued to rise. Market turnover showed a stalemate during the week. The holder is more willing to offer, do not want to take the initiative to reduce the price of rising water. At the beginning of the week, due to the sharp rise in copper in Shanghai, fear of high downstream, cautious demand, the market concentrated in the rising water 130 yuan / ton-rising water 160 yuan / ton. Copper fell in Shanghai for two days in the middle of the week, and the demand of downstream enterprises improved to promote the improvement of transactions. The holders raised the rising water to 170-190 yuan / ton, so it was difficult to press the price. With the rebound of copper futures prices, the downstream buying and exuberance fell again, basically maintaining the need. Holders of high prices this week, while downstream enterprise demand remains in urgent need, most of the week led by traders, the characteristics of saws on both sides of the supply and demand sides are obvious.

Aluminum: Zhou Nelun aluminum volatility has narrowed compared with previous weeks, low to $1479.5 / ton, high to $1530 / ton, around the 5-10-20 daily moving average group. Monday to Tuesday affected by the collapse in crude oil, Lun aluminum reached a low level; On Wednesday, Lun aluminum followed the Shanghai aluminum rally, repaired the previous two days of decline, and reached a high of US $1530 / ton on Thursday, but it was obvious that there was a lot of resistance to US $1530 / ton. Lun aluminum ran in the first line of US $1510 / ton after a slight drop on Thursday. As of 19:01 Beijing time, Lun aluminum closed at US $1512.5 / ton, up 0.47% per week, trading volume decreased by 812 hands to 56007 hands, position increased by 24175 hands to 798000 hands, mainly by long positions. The Zhou K line is temporarily closed with a small positive line. Recently, there are many macro uncertainties, Lun aluminum is subject to greater probability of fluctuation, Shanghai aluminum trend is relatively strong or can form a certain support for Lun aluminum, but it is an indisputable fact that overseas demand is weak, and it is expected that the range of Zhou Lun aluminum will run at 1470-1540 US dollars / ton.

During the week, the main Shanghai aluminum opened at 12335 yuan / ton, closed at 12285 yuan / ton, down 125 yuan / ton, down 1.01%, trading volume increased by 88753 hands to 551000 hands, position reduced by 11594 hands to 124000 hands, mainly long positions. The Zhou K line receives a long lower shadow line and runs between the 5 and 10 day moving averages. At the beginning of the week, the main Shanghai aluminum opened high, and rushed to a high of 12460 yuan / ton during the week. Then, affected by the collapse of crude oil, Shanghai aluminum fell with the basic metals, closed a negative line on Tuesday and reached the lowest level of 12005 yuan / ton during the week. Wednesday to Friday, Shanghai aluminum performance range shock, due to strong recovery in demand, the disk was strongly supported, although the above 12500 yuan / ton pressure position is difficult to break, but there has always been no further exploration. Next week is the last spot trading week before the May Day holiday. From a fundamental point of view, under the expected intensity of demand, the space below Shanghai aluminum is still relatively limited, and it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is a risk aversion mentality among short sellers. Shanghai aluminum may have the possibility of rising; in addition, we need to be vigilant against the disturbance of the trend of Shanghai aluminum. It is expected that the main Shanghai aluminum company will run at 12100-12600 yuan / ton next week.

Spot transactions in East China are more active this week. The quotation of the holder in Shanghai and Wuxi is between 12240-12500 yuan / ton, the rising water on the disk is between 10-60 yuan / ton, and the spot price in Hangzhou is between 12250-12550 yuan / ton.

PMI, has more economic data next week. Judging from the current epidemic control situation in Europe and the United States, although overseas auto companies plan to return to work, the expected operating rate is difficult to perform well. A limited boost to real consumption, overseas lead prices from the fundamental point of view there is no strong driving upward logic, on the contrary, consumption expectations pessimistic or further lower prices, Lun lead may be 1605-1685 US dollars / ton.

Shanghai lead probe rebounded this week, the overall trend is still in the box shock.

The spot market price of nickel this week is between 97200 and 102350 yuan / ton. Since Monday, most traders have shifted from Shanghai Nickel 05 contract to 06 contract quotation. Due to the strong nickel price at the beginning of the week, Russian nickel was overquoted between 150 yuan and 100 yuan / ton, while the mid-week market price fell below 100, 000 yuan one after another. the Russian nickel to Shanghai nickel 2006 contract is overquoted in 50 to flat water, and on Friday, although the price returns to 100, 000, the Russian nickel promotion discount still does not have the big drop. On the other hand, in the transaction of Russian nickel, the downstream demand changed from strong to weak at the beginning of the week, the supply of low-cost goods on the market gradually decreased, and the willingness of traders to replenish the warehouse weakened. Jinchuan nickel, most of this week stable in the rising water above 1000 yuan / ton, and Tuesday factory prices lower than the plate, traders enthusiastically pick up the goods. On the other hand, with the nickel price plunging, it has also stimulated the replenishment demand of Jinchuan nickel end users. Jinchuan nickel inquiry is active in the middle of the week, and the trading volume is stronger than that of Russian nickel. But since Thursday, manufacturers in the Shanghai area did not arrive, so that Jinchuan supply circulation is tight, so the rising water held stable, transactions weakened. It is expected that Russian nickel will enter the market next week as a result of imports, and the discount range is expected to expand. Jinchuan nickel water due to less shipments, or will maintain between 1000-1500 yuan / ton.
