    On the macro front, during the domestic holiday, the European Central Bank first stood still last Thursday, maintaining the benchmark interest rate of 0.
    25% and the current QE scale unchanged, but the possibility of a rate cut within the year remains
    .
    The US CPI in August rose 0.
    2% month-on-month and the August core CPI increased by 2.
    3% year-on-year, both exceeding expectations, and the core CPI growth rate reached the highest since 2009 again, and the dollar was greatly boosted

    In terms of the market, on the first trading day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shanghai copper followed the gap outside and opened high, rebounding by about 400 yuan / ton
    .
    Today is the last trading day before the delivery date of the 1609 contract, and the holder's quotation is for the 1610 contract
    .
    The basis of the next month is about 10 yuan / ton, maintaining the delivery level
    .
    The opening copper to the 1610 contract reported a premium of 120 yuan / ton, and flat water copper reported a premium of 90 yuan / ton, basically the same as before the
    holiday.
    The current copper premium is firm, which makes traders' enthusiasm for buying shrink, while the downstream post-holiday wait-and-see mood is significant, and the current market jump is not pursued
    .
    The intraday transaction was generally light, and the market waited for the quotation to be stable
    after the change of month.
    In the afternoon, copper prices were strongly volatile, and the market quotation on the last trading day closely followed the fluctuation of the market spread, and the next month there was almost no price difference to suppress the premium, so that it maintained the delivery level, reporting a premium of 70-110 yuan / ton, and the transaction price was at 37170-37270 yuan / ton
    .

    of copper last year.

    7% year-on-year to 5.
    489 million tons
    .

    Overall, intraday Shanghai copper was affected by the sharp rise in copper during the holiday, but the intraday position further declined, and the latest position has fallen to 445,000 lots, which shows that the domestic follow-up sentiment is limited
    during the holiday.
    Copper prices have been strong in the near future, and may continue to rebound in the short term, waiting for the clarity of the results of the Fed meeting for the time being
