Today's cash market

In the morning, the Shanghai Copper 11 contract opened at 50790 yuan / ton. after the opening, the copper price briefly rose to 51040 yuan / ton, and the short positions above the 51000 gate once again increased the position and slipped down 50690 yuan / ton, then maintained the concussion trend and closed at 50900 yuan / ton at noon. At the opening of afternoon trading, Shanghai copper fell about 150 yuan / ton. near the end of the day, due to the decline of the US dollar index, short positions rose to an intra-day high of 51170 yuan / ton, and finally closed at 51040 yuan / ton, up 200 yuan / ton, or 0.39%. On the spot side, the sharp drop in copper prices has led to a low rise in spot quotations. With the approach of the National Day holiday, short sellers have made a profit, and replenishment before the festival has gradually come to an end. The amount of inventory replenishment in the lower reaches of this year is obviously worse than in previous years, and the spot market may fall back into a stalemate next week.

Today, the copper in Shanghai closed, and the KDJ opening converged upward, but there are still multiple moving averages to be broken. In the evening, wait for the outer disk guidance to test whether Shanghai Copper can continue to rise and stabilize above the 51000 mark.

Indirect Iran-US Nuclear Talks in Muscat Show Progress, Omani FM Mediates Tense but Efficient Discussions
After intensive indirect consultations, the new round of nuclear talks between Iran and the US in Muscat, the capital of Oman, has achieved phased progress. It is reported that during this round of talks, the Iranian and US delegations did not meet directly. Instead, Omani Foreign Minister Badr acted as an intermediary, conveying a series of core proposals, strategic concerns, and policy positions to the other side. The atmosphere at the talks was tense yet efficient. According to preliminary on-site assessments, although both sides continue to negotiate over specific terms, they have reached a consensus on the key objective of "continuing dialogue."
