The issue of Sino-US relations continues to ferment, global concerns about international trade are rising, the number of superimposed new crown cases is rising, and market risk appetite tends to put pressure on copper prices with caution. At present, Lun copper overcast, the upper pressure 5-day average, KDJ opening down expansion, technical point of view copper price pressure.

However, market worries about the continuing grim state of the new crown epidemic plaguing the economic recovery still exist. At present, the global new crown confirmed cases have broken through the 14 million mark, while the epidemic has not yet ended and tensions between China and the United States continue to ferment.
