Most of the non-ferrous market rose during the day, but due to the correction in the stock market, most futures fell, and many varieties of the non-ferrous market showed an inverted V trend.

SMM7 March 10: today, most of the non-ferrous market rose, but due to the current pullback in the stock market, most futures fell, and many varieties of the non-ferrous market showed an inverted V trend. Today, the rise of zinc in Shanghai has narrowed, and the recent rebound in the zinc market more reflects the rebound in risk appetite on the capital side and the supplementary rising behavior after the annual balance of supply and demand has been revised. However, from a fundamental point of view, the zinc market has a seasonal weakening trend, superimposed by the increasingly severe flood situation in the south may affect downstream construction, whether the follow-up rally can continue to be further observed. In terms of data, according to SMM, as of Friday, the total inventory of zinc ingots in SMM Qidi was 212400 tons, down 4200 tons from last Friday and 5300 tons from Monday. "check the details of the inventory of 47000 tons of zinc ingots in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, an increase of 2000 tons over last week." in terms of aluminum, it is reported that Japanese aluminum buyers have set the aluminum rising water for the July-September quarter at 79 US dollars per ton. It was down 3.7% from the previous quarter, as the new crown epidemic hit demand. Aluminium rose $82 a tonne in the April-June quarter, marking the fourth consecutive quarterly decline, the lowest level since the October-December 2016 quarter and below producers' initial offer of $85. Japan is the largest importer of aluminium in Asia, and the premium that Japanese buyers agree to pay each quarter on the spot price of (LME) on the London Metal Exchange has become an Asian pricing indicator.

Black iron ore fell slightly, hot coil threads fell 0.5% and 0.8% respectively. Black is under pressure, and the demand for building materials, which is weakening due to seasonal influence, begins to bottom out. Overall supply and demand across the country are weak, and demand in some areas is the first to rebound. The recent strong performance of iron ore is mainly due to the month-on-month decline in shipments in Australia and Brazil, the slight accumulation of port inventories, the high volume of open ports, and the tight supply pattern. Outbreaks are raging overseas, and outbreaks in India and Brazil are hardly optimistic. The Australian fiscal year ends and the annual routine maintenance begins. In addition, the weather improved in the later period, the downstream demand recovered, and the iron ore is expected to remain the same.

Crude oil fell 2.34% in the previous period. Today's EIA report said it raised its forecast for crude oil demand in 2020, but warned that the new crown pneumonia outbreak posed a risk to future prospects. IEA raised its crude oil demand forecast to 92.1 million barrels a day, up 400000 barrels from last month, saying demand fell less than expected in the second quarter. "while there is no doubt that progress has been made in the oil market, the large number of cases of new crown pneumonia, which is increasing in some countries, reminds us that the epidemic has not been brought under control and the risks to the market outlook are almost certainly downward," IEA said in its monthly report. The IEA says the easing of blockades by many countries has led to a strong rebound in fuel supplies in May and June and is likely to rebound in July.
