SMM5 March 19: today's market continues Monday's market, in the case of no major changes in fundamentals, the market generally rebounded under the influence of macro-warming sentiment. The main force of Shanghai Aluminum closed up for four consecutive days and continued to be strong today. The main force of Shanghai Aluminum 2007 rose sharply in early trading, the intraday high once touched the Wan San pass, the fundamentals continued to be strong to the warehouse, and the good downstream consumer demand also supported Shanghai Aluminum. SMM point of view: short-term Shanghai Aluminum is still dominated by strong shocks, we need to continue to pay attention to the macro signal release. In addition, we need to pay attention to the changes in the spot circulation of the market and the ranking of multi-short positions in the exchange. On the copper side, it is reported that once copper prices recover and restrictions imposed by the new crown virus are relaxed, Nevada Copper (Nevada Copper) 's pumpkin hollow underground copper mine Pumpkin Hollow expansion project will resume. Prior to this, affected by the epidemic, Nevada Copper temporarily suspended the production activities of the Pumpkin Hollow project for at least six weeks, which will be adjusted in accordance with government measures. The Pumpkin Hollow underground mine, which starts production in December 2019, is expected to produce 6.5 million pounds of copper equivalent per year, at a total maintenance cost of $1.86 per pound.
Black continued to rise throughout the department, driven by iron ore yesterday, finished materials are higher, the spot market also showed a big increase. Thread increases range from 60 cents per ton to 80 yuan per ton, while hot rolls rise to 120 yuan per ton. With the decline of inventory, the approach of the two sessions, and the support of the raw materials, the performance of finished wood for nearly half a month is on the strong side. However, from the rise of iron ore and the overall operation of the black system, the short-term operation may continue to be strong. The people's Government of Qian'an City promulgated the measures for the Prevention and Control of Air pollution in the second half of May in Qian'an City, which will be tightened from 8: 00 on May 18 to 24:00 on May 31, 2020. For the time being, the production reduction is limited, but there is a high probability that it will be strictly implemented during the two sessions, or disturb the ore price.
Crude oil rose 0.65% in the previous period. The good news from the vaccine spurred a sharp rise in oil prices. This is the highest settlement price for oil futures for cloth and US oil since March 11, when oil prices began to plummet when negotiations on a production reduction agreement between the Organization of Petroleum Exporting countries (OPEC) and Russia broke down. Bob Yawger, director of Mizuho Energy Futures, said it took more than two months for US oil futures to basically clean up the wreckage after the March OPEC+ meeting. Oil prices have risen for the third week in a row, but are still well below the peak reached in January, when WTI was trading above $60 a barrel.
