[SMM comment] Nonferrous metals rise and fall each other. Last period, crude oil rose more than 1%. Black collective heating iron ore rose more than 2%.

SMM7 March 1: there were ups and downs in the LME metal market this morning. As of 09:30 in the morning, Lun Zinc fell nearly 0.5%, Lun Copper fell nearly 0.2%, Lun Xi was flat, Lun Aluminum rose nearly 0.1%, and Lun lead rose nearly 0.2%. Domestically, Shanghai copper and lead rose nearly 0.8%, Shanghai zinc fell nearly 0.2%, Shanghai nickel fell nearly 0.3%, Shanghai tin and Shanghai aluminum fell nearly 0.6%.

In terms of copper, the China solid waste Chemicals Management Network issued the ninth batch of restricted list in 2020, which is the first batch of approval documents in the third quarter, of which the total approved import of copper scrap is 176746 tons, and the first batch is 222020 tons in the second quarter, down 20.39% from the previous quarter. The overall approval shows a quarterly downward trend, which is in line with the plan of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment to reduce the import of solid waste in the second half of the year. According to SMM, the recent price advantage of scrap copper rod compared to refined copper rod is very huge, and the order is maintained well. The 100, 000-ton scrap copper rod factory wants to open more production lines to reduce the average cost, but it suffers from the shortage of scrap copper raw materials, and the demand for raw materials is doubled by opening one more production line (open hearth capacity of 150t / day). At present, the overall supply of scrap copper is still limited by imports and cannot support full production for a long time. At present, a new batch of approval documents have just been issued, the volume of scrap copper is relatively sufficient and the price advantage is obvious, the short-term import of scrap copper supply will undoubtedly increase. If the copper price is stable as a whole, it will continue to be conducive to the production of scrap copper rods and will further extrude refined copper rods for consumption.

[SMM Analysis] the total amount of scrap copper issued in the third quarter continues to decrease compared with the previous quarter, and the supply of scrap copper is still limited.

In terms of lead, according to the SMM survey, the operating rate of primary lead and recycled lead increased synchronously, and the supply of lead ingots tended to be relaxed, especially in the recycled lead plate. Since last week, the price of lead has risen sharply, the profits of recycled lead have been repaired, and the discount of recycled refined lead has expanded rapidly. as of July 7, recycled refined lead has been quoted as an average discount of 250 yuan / ton for SMM1# lead, with some as low as 400 yuan / ton. The absolute advantage of recycled lead in price has attracted a large number of downstream just need diversion, and the accumulation of electrolytic lead is expected to rise further, giving more holders room to buy cash (delivery brands). It will stimulate the transaction activity of the spot market before delivery and give the smelter the opportunity to reduce inventory pressure.

[SMM analysis] lead positions in Shanghai remain high and the delivery of warehouse orders is improving slowly.

In terms of black, iron ore rose nearly 2.6%, coke rose nearly 1.7%, thread rose nearly 1.5%, hot coil rose nearly 1.4%, coking coal rose nearly 0.6%, stainless steel rose nearly 0.3%. According to SMM research, as of July 7, the operating rate of independent electric arc furnace steel mills reached 73.24%, down 4.49% from the same period last week and 11.52% lower than that of 84.76% in June. In the later stage, the operating rate of electric arc furnace is afraid to maintain the current low level, so it is difficult to have room to pick up. On the one hand, in the case of scrap resources are still tight, prices are likely to remain strong. On the other hand, affected by the weather, terminal demand shows regional differences-in the short term, heavy precipitation still hangs over the gathering areas of electric arc furnace production capacity in East China, Southwest China and Central China, and the release of demand in these areas is still suppressed to a certain extent. although the shipping situation of merchants is slightly better than the previous period, it is difficult to promote the effective digestion of relevant city inventory and electric furnace factory warehouse, and it is even more difficult to pull up steel prices.

Crude oil rose nearly 1.4% in the previous period, which was offset by a sharp drop in inventory of refined oil products. In the early hours of Wednesday, data released by the American Petroleum Institute (API) showed that API crude oil stocks in the United States increased by 2.05 million barrels in the week ending July 3 and are expected to decrease by 3.4 million barrels; gasoline stocks decreased by 1.83 million barrels; and refined oil stocks decreased by 847000 barrels.

In terms of precious metals, Shanghai gold rose nearly 0.5 per cent and Shanghai silver rose nearly 0.1 per cent as the jump in the number of new cases boosted hopes for looser monetary policy measures and safe-haven demand for gold.

As of 09:30, the status of contracts in the metals and crude oil markets:
