    Fundamentally, Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema said on Monday that the Zambian government is close to seeking private investors for the Mopani copper mine to boost production
    at one of the country's largest mines.
    Zambia acquired Mopani from Glencore in January 2021 and has since been looking for new investors for the mine, which requires significant investment to ramp up production
    .
    China's overseas copper mine investment has been increasing in recent years, which provides an opportunity
    for enterprises like Zijin Mining.

    .
    However, the domestic central bank actively lowered the foreign exchange deposit reserve ratio from the current 9% to 8%, releasing a strong signal of stable exchange rate expectations, and domestic spot is tight, inventories are at a low level, and pre-holiday stocking is expected to recover to support copper prices
