    Market research and judgment: Shanghai copper 2010 fell on September 3
    .
    The good US factory orders data for July, coupled with the bright US PMI data for August, boosted the US index to extend its rally, and the upcoming non-farm payrolls data if it also shows weakness with the ADP data will put the US index under pressure
    again.
    At the same time, the year-on-year decline in copper production in Chile and Peru in July continued to narrow, and copper export supply will gradually recover; In addition, downstream demand is still flat, so that copper prices lack upward momentum
    .
    However, the short-term recovery of copper ore is limited, the current copper ore processing fee TC remains low, and the support of raw material cost still exists; At the same time, London copper inventories fell to a new low in nearly 14 years, coupled with the arrival of the domestic peak season, demand is expected to pick up, which supports copper prices
    .
    Technically, the Shanghai copper 2010 contract daily KDJ indicator dead cross, focus on the 51000 position support, is expected to be weak short-term volatility
