The weekly increase of money supply M1 and M2 announced in the United States today is limited, the effect of economic stimulus measures is gradually dissipating, the pace of US economic recovery is slowing, the downward pressure is increasing, and the market macro sentiment is cautious, which forms a certain resistance to the upward price of copper. From a fundamental point of view, the impact of the South American epidemic on Chilean copper production has not been obvious. The Chilean Copper Commission (Cochilco) showed that Chilean copper production increased by 3.7% from January to May 2020, easing the pessimistic mood of tight supply the day before yesterday. Social inventories rose 37300 tons month-on-month to 199300 tons on Wednesday, the first increase in recent months, leading bulls to cut positions and driving copper prices down, according to a survey by SMM. Today, Shanghai copper overcast, MACD red column narrowed, but below there is still a 5-day moving average to support the bottom, copper prices upward pattern has not been destroyed. Wait for the outer disk guidelines in the evening to test whether the bulls can continue to make efforts to help copper prices gain momentum again.
