Who: may usher in a second wave of outbreaks or a second peak

On May 25, local time, WHO held a regular press conference on new crown pneumonia. Michael Ryan, director of the WHO Health Emergency Project, said that it is currently in the first wave of the epidemic, and it cannot be assumed that its transmission level will continue to decline. The epidemic of new crown pneumonia may suddenly rise at any time, and there may be a second peak. Who reminds countries that they should be on high alert. Rapid detection of cases to inhibit the spread of the virus.

In addition, in response to the rumor that "new crown pneumonia will automatically disappear in summer", WHO said: new crown pneumonia should not be assumed to be "seasonal". Data from the five months since the new crown pandemic show that if the virus exists, regardless of temperature and month, can infect humans.

Trump stopped taking hydroxychloroquine to prevent the new crown, still insisting that the drug "received rave reviews". The United States announced a travel ban on Brazil. White House anti-epidemic working group experts said on the 24th, "it is difficult to say whether the United States will shut down again because of the epidemic." Biden lambasted Trump for playing golf: nearly 100000 people died in the United States, but the president was busy playing golf. Trump was interviewed to comment on his opponent, Joe Biden: I can't think of the advantages, but the disadvantages can be said all day. Many states in the United States distribute the drug Redsevir to fight the new crown virus, and clinical trials report that new crown patients cannot be cured by using it alone. Social distance does not exist! Swimming pools in many beaches in the United States have been overcrowded, with the death toll approaching 100,000.

< 4 > Information and heart words.

1. Chen Yulu, deputy governor of the central bank: the impact of the epidemic will go through five stages. These include the impact of domestic proliferation, the impact of the decline in external demand caused by the spread of Europe and the United States, the debt risks brought about by the proliferation of South Asia and Africa, the impact of the superimposed risks on the financial system, and how to turn crises into opportunities. Take the epidemic as an opportunity to promote high-quality development. In this process, the "more" in the "prudent monetary policy is more flexible and moderate" should be fully reflected, we should promote money directly to the main body of the market, avoid arbitrage, and do our best to link up with structural reform policies.

4. In terms of steel

Today's trading volume, in many areas of rain and weak steel state, still maintain the peak season level. When it rains in many areas, the so-called high demand in the market will inevitably be happy in the heart of those who have reached the peak of high demand. Today's trading volume hits the face again! The demand for beauty is unique and old-fashioned, which makes people feel haunted. The short rhythm is still within the scope of the author's prediction. In short, the view of rhythm and trend remains the same.

5. In terms of iron ore

Today, Shenzhou Mine high platform diving, mainly due to My steel net data, the current shipment volume of Australian kangaroos and Brazil (23.639 million tons), a sharp increase of 19.3% compared with the previous period (19.823 million tons).

For this reason, the author has three questions?!

One question is that despite the epicenter of the epidemic in Brazil, what we can see at this stage is that the impact on supply has not been realized, while the Australian kangaroo has greatly expanded! Why did the previous data drop continuously?

The second question is that the output of the world's steel mills has been reduced by 13%. Where are the divine mines going?

The third question is, how can the shipping volume suddenly soar after a continuous decline? Is it in line with the routine? Do you understand that the previous data are manipulated? Is it based on the recent voice of deputies to the National people's Congress and under pressure to recover? If so, should professional ethics and ethics be tortured?! Haha, the benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom!

In a word, the author's view on divine mine remains unchanged.

The price is so high that there is no room for longevity.

6. Coke

Demon Jiao reached its highest point of 1892 today, and the third round of spot rally began to hit the ground. No, no. The author's forward-looking view is realized: once Ziwei Dong (1760), Hu Xingsen Yaomang (1900). The fourth round of rise and landing is expected in the middle and lower part of June, paying attention to Shandong's "rainfall" is the hard core, and Shanxi's direction is expected to have a high probability of heavy thunder and small raindrops.

It is suggested that in the early stage, the single drop bag is an only high index.

7. Based on the fundamentals, the supply margin of coking coal has improved, but the overall pattern of supply exceeding demand has not changed essentially.

Rhythm, trend logic and point of view remain the same: for details, see the review last week and the outlook for June! I won't repeat it.
