SMM7 March 8: today, large pieces of non-ferrous metals are floating red, and Shanghai zinc and lead are up more than 1%. The overall strength of non-ferrous metals, Shanghai copper nearly broke through the 50,000 mark. Amid fears of supply disruptions in Chile, a major copper producer, Chile's mining minister said Chile would give priority to the health of workers to avoid the spread of the virus and further damage production, which has become a bullish factor affecting copper prices. Fears of supply disruptions in Chile have supported copper prices for weeks. In terms of zinc, since the second quarter, the high output of die-casting zinc alloy produced by the smelter has declined, which is also consistent with the weakening of die-casting zinc alloy consumption in the second quarter. The output of die-casting zinc alloy produced by the smelter in June is once again approaching the lowest level since this year. As for the decline in output, we think that the reduction in the output of die-casting zinc alloy by the smelter is mainly due to the reduction of the output of die-casting zinc alloy by the smelter under the background of weaker consumption, coupled with the new maintenance of individual smelters in June. The output of zinc alloy and terminal foreign trade orders are still not improved, resulting in a month-on-month reduction of more than 4700 tons of alloy output produced by the smelter in June. "check the details.

Black rose across the board, with iron ore leading a rise of more than 3 per cent, followed by coke and threads by nearly 2 per cent. Rebar futures broke through 3700 points in one fell swoop, reaching a seven-month high. Now that the epidemic in the north is improving, the performance of terminal demand is relatively better, while rain in eastern and central China is still a drag on demand release and good trading at low prices. The fundamentals of the spot market are improving marginally. However, in view of the college entrance examination and the rainy season still have a certain degree of suppression on the demand side, the sustained upward trend of prices in the short term has not yet been formed. Iron ore has gained momentum due to falling supplies and market concerns about the epidemic in Brazil.

Crude oil rose 0.37% in the previous period. Outer disk oil prices fell on Wednesday as industry data showed an increase in crude oil inventories in the United States and a surge in new crown virus infections in the United States and elsewhere raised doubts about the outlook for fuel demand growth. Brent crude futures held steady at $43.08 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures fell 3 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $40.59 a barrel.
