Yesterday, the dollar index broke its lowest level since June 2018 to 93.47, as the dollar fell, dollar borrowing rates fell, monetary easing continued to push up large asset prices, spot gold hit an all-time high of $1945 in intraday trading, and US stocks rebounded yesterday. On the other hand, concerns about soaring new epidemics in the US and geopolitical risk restrictions on risky assets, copper prices fluctuated near the five-day moving average yesterday to repair some of the earlier declines, and overall market sentiment remained restrained. On the spot side, the market demand for bills weakens, and the holders who hold monthly tickets are less willing to raise prices. It is expected to be 6430-6490 US dollars / ton for Lun Copper and 51600-52000 yuan / ton for Shanghai Copper today. It is expected that the spot water will rise to 30-80 yuan / ton today.
