    On the macro front, ECB President Mario Draghi's hawkish remarks made the dollar volatile overnight, but did not affect the foundation of the dollar's strength, so the trend of non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminum will continue to be suppressed
    by the dollar.

    from the evening non-farm payrolls.

    upside 。 In the afternoon session, the market rebounded, speculative enthusiasm declined, the market showed a weekend atmosphere, the holder took the initiative to expand the flat water copper discount, flat water copper newspaper discount 70 yuan / ton - discount 50 yuan / ton, good copper quotation held steady, premium copper newspaper discount 20 yuan / ton - premium 40 yuan / ton, the transaction price was 46140 yuan / ton - 46360 yuan / ton
    .

    On the whole, the week before the Fed's interest rate hike decision, the US dollar bullish expectations are strong, short-term suppression of copper prices, but the recent foreign copper mines are still in the stage of shutdown, so there is still a certain psychological boost
    to copper prices in the short term.
