The minutes of the Fed meeting reaffirmed its commitment to using all tools to support the economy; the House of Representatives will vote next week to expand the loan program; the United States will issue new sanctions against Iran; and Vice President Pence said: the United States is likely to impose more travel restrictions because of the new crown epidemic; the Spanish Parliament approved an extension of the state of emergency for another two weeks; Britain launched a negative-yield bond for the first time; and the European recovery Fund plan was opposed by countries such as Sweden.

Overnight lme inventory increased by 8900 tons to 107275 tons, or 9.05% to more than 100000. Driven by the general rise of non-ferrous metals overnight, Lun zinc also showed a strong performance, breaking through recent highs, but the sharp increase in lme inventory may indicate that the current market demand recovery is not as expected, short-term Lun zinc will continue to operate strongly, but the space above is limited, and the price of Lun zinc is expected to run in the range of $2060 / ton in 2010. Overnight, the main contract of Shanghai Zinc 2007 opened at 16770 yuan / tonne. At the beginning of the session, Shanghai Zinc fell rapidly and fell 16490 yuan / tonne.
