SMM5: at the smooth conclusion of the two sessions today, Premier Li Keqiang of the State Council attended a press conference and answered questions from Chinese and foreign reporters: how to use large-scale policy funds? To bail out enterprises and stimulate market vitality, mainly to stabilize employment, protect people's livelihood, so that residents have the spending power, is conducive to promoting consumption and driving the market. This can be said to be a way of market-oriented reform. "Li Keqiang: do not engage in flood irrigation in special periods. Under the pulse of special policies, the quasi-pharmaceutical non-ferrous metals market is mixed, and Shanghai Aluminum is up 1.47%. However, some investors are cautious that after the previous low continues to recover, it is subject to the weakening of the margin of macro and fundamentals, and at the same time, there is a price comparison repair caused by the opening of the import profit window of some varieties. In the absence of major sudden positive policies, it is expected that the persistence and space of the rebound will be restrained. On the copper side, risk appetite in global markets has picked up as national economies have gradually recovered, but risk factors such as a possible recurrence of the epidemic, geopolitics and fluctuations in the oil market have retained market concerns about the speed of economic recovery. From a fundamental point of view, the Antamina copper mine under Tektronix Resources has resumed operation and is expected to achieve full production in the third quarter, and the market is worried about the long-term global copper supply surplus to put pressure on copper prices, while the current low domestic inventory gives copper price support, so the disk performance is long-empty glue.

Black is generally upstream, with iron ore up 2.01%, threads up 0.37% and hot rolls up 1.2%. Demand for construction steel arrived in the off-season as scheduled, but supply remained strong. Apparent demand for rebar showed a significant decline this week, total inventory decline narrowed while hot coil demand remained high, production pressure was relatively small, inventory was quickly eliminated. SMM data show that the decline in building materials inventory in this period is obvious: the total warehouse is 10.4543 million tons, month-on-month is-3.5%, 5.4% lower than factory warehouse 2.9936 million tons, month-on-month ratio-0.1%, 11.4% lower than social treasury 7.4607 million tons, month-on-month ratio-4.9%. For details, please see the SMM inventory report later.

Crude oil rose 0.11% in the previous period. International oil prices have returned to their highest level since mid-March, and although crude oil fundamentals have improved, the market appears to have become too optimistic, according to industry analysts. Markets continue to drive financial and commodity markets higher, and oil prices have rebounded to their highest level since the blockade and home orders were announced in the United States in March due to the outbreak. Judging from various indicators, the market has recovered a lot of lost ground in the past two and a half months. The Dow Jones Industrial average surged to more than 25000 on Tuesday, while the S & P jumped to more than 3000. Both key points were touched in March. But now that the price of Brent crude is close to $40 a barrel, the durability of the OPEC+ agreement has begun to be questioned, and there is a potential downside in the oil market.

As of today's day close:

Today's capital flow

The commodity index showed outflows for the first time this week, losing more than 600 million blood. The fluctuation of Shanghai crude oil is limited, both of them have been abandoned by about 400 million funds, and the crude oil sector has lost more than 600 million funds. Oil and oilseeds as a whole went up and down, and some of the funds left the market at a profit. Risk aversion has returned, and Shanghai Bank has returned to its rising trend, with more than 50, 000 positions a day and more than 1.2 billion of precious metals.
