In terms of copper, according to SMM data, the copper concentrate index in June was $51.71 / ton, down $1.76 / ton from the previous month, the third consecutive month of decline. According to SMM, at present, some domestic copper smelters have been affected by the shortage of raw materials and declining profits to reduce production or carry out maintenance and adjustment, mainly private refineries, especially some private roughing plants have centralized maintenance in July and August this year. Although the overhaul of domestic refineries increased in July, part of the overhaul was passively adjusted by the pressure of the raw material port, so it was difficult to change the current tight supply of copper concentrate caused by the overseas epidemic. SMM learned that the current spot TC offer continues to be under pressure, and the spot TC is deadlocked at 40 US dollars / ton. As for crude copper, as the supply end has scrap copper to produce crude copper and imported to Hong Kong to support, this part of the short-term maintenance will not reduce crude copper processing fees, but in the long term, the tension of the mine side will be transmitted to crude copper through domestic rough refining, the trend of RC and TC will tend to be consistent, and the upward space for crude copper processing fees is limited.

[SMM Analysis] Private copper refineries will be overhauled mainly due to shortage of raw materials and declining profits

The previous period of crude oil fell nearly 0.8%. On Thursday, the electronic trading price of WTI September crude oil futures closed down 94 U.S. dollars, or 2.28 percent, at 40.32 U.S. dollars per barrel. Oil prices fell sharply on Thursday as US President Donald Trump hinted that the United States should postpone the presidential election in November, disrupting markets because of poor US economic data. The US economy shrank in the second quarter at its worst since the Great Depression, showing the devastating impact of the coronavirus on the world's largest oil consumer.

In terms of precious metals, Shanghai gold fell nearly 0.3% and Shanghai silver fell nearly 2.3%, as the positive results of a vaccine study suppressed safe-haven demand and stimulated investors to take profits on gold. The narrowing of the decline in the stock market has also put pressure on gold prices. Some analysts pointed out that the market still has further room to rise, and at the same time, there are many risks that may hinder the introduction of Covid-19 vaccines as soon as possible, which will accelerate the reopening of the world economy and return to normal, which is good for risky assets and therefore depresses safe-haven assets, such as gold.
