    Overall, the Fed's interest rate hike in March landed, in line with market expectations, and macro bearishness was released to a certain extent, but copper downstream consumption recovered slowly, short-term spot supply was abundant, and copper prices lacked upward momentum
    .
    The Sino-US trade war has heated up, increasing the uncertainty of global economic growth, and market concerns have significantly suppressed
    copper prices.
    The later trend also depends on downstream demand and the evolution of the trade war
