    On the macro front, at the beginning of the month, the market lacked a clear direction, the dollar index oscillated widely in a repeated tug-of-war, gold was also dominated by sideways, and the US S&P index fell yesterday again to put the year's return into negative territory
    .
    On the news side, good and bad, the ISM services index in the United States hit a new high in March in March, providing more than 80% of jobs, indicating that the US economy is still expanding moderately; The weaker performance of the Eurozone services sector and a decline in German industrial orders in February weighed
    on Eurozone equities.

    In terms of the copper market, it is still in China's peak consumption season, downstream consumption has not decreased significantly, the shortage of scrap copper has led to a shift in consumption to copper substitution and a decrease in imported copper, and Shanghai copper inventories have begun to decline last week, indicating that the spot pressure on Shanghai copper has decreased
