    Shanghai copper fell at the open yesterday, maintaining a weak shock trend throughout the day, and the main contract 1605 fluctuated downward to close at 37750, down 1.
    20%.

    After the fall in copper prices, some downstream bargain-hunting markets increased slightly, considering that the signs of the current consumption season have just been reflected, it is estimated that copper prices will encounter support
    in the short term.

    Macro: U.
    S.
    stocks rose overnight, European stocks fluctuated, crude oil rose, and the dollar fell
    .
    The PBOC restarted reverse repurchase and reversed repurchase of 30 billion yuan in 7 days
    .
    In February, the total value of domestic imports and exports was 1.
    43 trillion yuan, down 15.
    7% year-on-year, and exports were 821.
    8 billion yuan, down 20.
    6%; imports were 612.
    3 billion yuan, down 8%; The trade surplus was 209.
    5 billion yuan, narrowing by 43.
    3%, of which the decline in exports was mainly caused by
    weak external demand.
    Today's news is on the short
    side.

    In terms of the market: the early stage of the fall in the high level of copper in Shanghai in early trading triggered some traders to buy and sell the period for a while; Subsequently, Shanghai copper fell by 300 yuan / ton, which narrowed the current copper discount, thereby discouraged the enthusiasm of
    traders to trade.
    After the fall in copper prices, some downstream bargain-hunting prices increased
    slightly.
    However, for the downstream, it is expected that after more price adjustments, buying interest can increase
    significantly.

    On the whole, commodities have risen recently, and the fall of the dollar and the rise of crude oil have greatly boosted bulls' confidence, and LME inventories continue to shift to the previous period this week, indicating that the market is optimistic about the demand for copper peak season before May, but due to the surplus supply side, copper prices have limited room to rise, and Shanghai copper is expected to fluctuate strongly
    in the near future.
