On the domestic side, the metal market is red and thin, Shanghai lead is down nearly 1.1%, Shanghai aluminum is down nearly 1%, Shanghai nickel is down nearly 0.2%, Shanghai zinc is up nearly 0.2%, and Shanghai tin is up nearly 0.4%.

On the news, Glencore (Glencore) 's Mopani copper mine in Zambia said on Thursday that the Zambian Ministry of Mines rejected its proposal to suspend operations.

On the black side, the thread fell nearly 0.1%, the hot coil fell nearly 0.3%, stainless steel fell nearly 0.1%, coke rose nearly 0.7%, coking coal rose nearly 0.6%, iron ore fell nearly 0.9%. This week, the total inventory of hot-rolled coil is 3.7685 million tons, compared with + 3.72%, year-on-year + 10.74%. Since the end of June, the hot volume has accumulated for 4 consecutive weeks, and this week it is affected by the synchronous wide accumulation of the factory social library, and the overall accumulation range is higher than that of previous weeks.

In terms of threads, as of July 16, the national total inventory of building materials was 10.7401 million tons, with a month-on-month ratio of + 0.6%, compared with the same period last year. Seasonal interference has not faded, central China, East China, southwest and other areas are still shrouded in overcast and rainy weather, terminal demand continues to be suppressed, so the thread inventory is still in a state of accumulation. However, after South China took the lead in "getting rid of difficulties", the strong replenishment of local demand is an important argument to prove the objective existence of the demand for quick work. The urgent demand for work is more urgent than in previous years, and the terminal just needs a good year-on-year performance, which is an important reason why the current inventory growth continues to narrow year-on-year (this week, the thread pool growth rate narrowed by 3 percentage points year-on-year).

"[SMM thread] the road to fatigue is not over, and the upward trend in steel prices is not over.

Crude oil fell nearly 1.3 per cent in the previous period, US oil ended a two-day rally on Thursday, the OPEC+ alliance's decision to scale back production cuts and US data showing a slow recovery in the labour market underscored the weak outlook for oil demand. After nearly three months of historic production cuts to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the OPEC+ Alliance plans to increase supply by at least 1 million barrels a day in August.

In terms of precious metals, Shanghai gold fell nearly 1% and Shanghai silver fell nearly 1.7%. On Thursday, gold prices fell, spot gold fell off the 1800 mark, brushing the recent two-day low to 1794.98 US dollars per ounce, and the sharp rebound in the dollar index put gold prices under pressure. Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage OANDA, said the main theme was that the central bank would stay put for some time and there would be more stimulus, but much later, which partly undermined the recent bullish trend in gold.

As of 09:40, the status of contracts in the metals and crude oil markets:
