Weekly level, indicators are still good, K line has not yet been from the lower track to the Brin belt in the middle of the track.

SMM Lunxi Outlook:

Lunxi electronic disk overall showed a small upward trend this week, early in the week affected by the rise in crude oil prices and LME tin inventory continued to decline, good Lunxi electronic disk trend of its center of gravity slowly moved up. Subsequently, affected by the domestic Shanghai tin disk high shock, Lunxi also maintained the consolidation trend, the center of gravity high position to maintain stability.
