Copper concentrate production will be reduced as a result of the shutdown of the mining area, with a maximum of 6000 tons affected in the first half of 2020.

Although the resumption of work such as domestic infrastructure projects is constantly improving, the growth rate of demand is not as fast as the growth rate of supply. Therefore, the early April steel rising space is not much. However, due to the "gold, three, silver and four" steel peak season due to the epidemic and then transferred to the market for later macro stimulus policy optimistic expectations, steel prices may rise later this month. "[SMM Steel] is not dragged down by weak fundamentals during a strong rebound in snails.
