Then Lun Copper rebounded slightly to $6589 / ton, but the short force continued to press down, and the market fell to $6557 / ton. During the European session, there was news that the US side asked the Chinese side to close the Consulate General in Houston, which led to further tensions between China and the United States, a sudden change in market sentiment, a straight fall in Lunbro, and a daily low of 6434.5 US dollars per ton. Then Lun copper bottomed out and closed at 6457.5 US dollars / ton, down 54.50 US dollars / ton, or 0.84%. At present, Lun copper is negative, and the opening of KDJ is dilated downward, but it is still supported by the 5-day and 10-day moving average. In the evening, focus on the investment sentiment caused by the contradictory performance of Sino-US relations, and whether Lunchu can recover the decline.

Today, the main force of Shanghai copper opened at 52490 yuan / ton in the morning. after the opening, the bulls entered the market to drive up the copper price to a daily high of 52830 yuan / ton, but then the short sellers increased their positions to suppress the copper price, and the long positions continued to fall to 52420 yuan / ton.

Today, Shanghai copper closed, KDJ opening convergence, below still jump off multiple moving averages, technical point of view copper prices still have upward momentum. Wait for the outer disk guidelines in the evening to test whether the bulls can push again to support the 53000 yuan / ton pass in Shanghai Copper.

In the morning, the consignor quoted Pingshui copper for 50 RMB60 / ton, good copper 110Mel 130 yuan / ton, fear of heights rose again, and it was difficult to get an actual deal. The outflow of superimposed warehouse receipts increased the willingness of holders to exchange high positions. Some consignors tried to reduce prices to promote trading, and rising water opened the way of downward adjustment. Pingshui copper dropped directly to about 30 yuan / ton of rising water, and the inquiry improved, and the buying interest improved. It is difficult to quote a good copper shipment and adjust it to about 100 yuan / ton. Entering the second section of the trading stage, the overall transaction of the market is still weak and difficult to rise. Flat copper has actively dropped to 20 yuan / ton of rising water, and the long order is sold to pick up the goods, so that the rising water temporarily stabilizes, the room for good copper price reduction is limited, and the transaction price is maintained at 80,000,100 yuan / ton. there is a big difference in the quotation of wet-process copper. Some of the top bidders are always at a discount of 30 yuan per ton, while some of the low-end difference of wet-process copper can be as low as around 100 yuan. The average price of wet copper is passively dragged down by the discount of about 60 / ton. Copper prices have risen by more than 1,000 for two consecutive days, copper prices are high, the outflow of goods continues to increase, and the downstream is back to being afraid of high prices to stop and wait and see. Today, most of the market transactions are still long single traders, but under the strong market, the target psychological price may be even lower. Sellers are more concerned about high and fast cash. In the afternoon, the market was arranged horizontally, but the declining trend of spot rising water has stabilized, with Pingshui copper holding steady at 30 murals 40 yuan / ton, good copper rising water 80 murals 100 yuan / ton, and the transaction price is also running smoothly at 5253052700 yuan / ton.

In terms of fundamentals, Shanghai lead is supported by the cost of recycled lead, and downstream procurement demand has picked up somewhat, but after all, the peak consumption season has not arrived, and lead prices continue to rise. It is necessary to pay attention to whether Shanghai lead can stand on the 10-day moving average at night. It is expected that in the short term, Shanghai lead will mainly take the 10-day moving average and 5-day moving average as the interval shock adjustment, and better consumption expectations may prompt bulls to explore the first line of 15200 yuan / ton.

Shanghai market Mulun lead 15120 yuan / ton, 50 yuan / ton price for Shanghai lead 2008 contract; 15120 yuan / ton for Jiangsu and Zhejiang market, Yuteng, Southern lead 15120 yuan / ton, 50 yuan / ton price for Shanghai lead 2008 contract; imported KZ lead 15020 color 15040 yuan / ton, discount 50 million 30 yuan / ton for Shanghai lead 2008 contract.
