    1.
    On May 12, the 400,000-ton high-purity copper cathode copper clean production project of Daye Nonferrous Metals Holding Group Co.
    , Ltd.
    (hereinafter referred to as "CNMC Daye"), a nonferrous metal group invested by China Nonferrous Metal Group, officially started construction, marking a substantial step
    towards the million-ton domestic copper cathode production capacity of China Nonferrous Metal Group.
    After the completion of the project, China Nonferrous Metal Group's domestic cathode copper production capacity will reach 1 million tons, entering the leading ranks of the global copper industry
    .

    News on May 12, Zambia temporarily closed its border crossings with Tanzania, and copper export business shipped through Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania, was forced to delay.

    On May 10, local time, according to the official website of Zambia's national television station ZNBC, Zambian President Lungu ordered the temporary closure of the Nakonde area located in northeastern Zambia on the border with neighboring Tanzania from May 11, local time, because 76 of the 85 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Zambia on May 9, local time, came from Nakonde, which has become a high-risk area
    for the spread of new crown pneumonia in Zambia.

    Fundamental changes: 1) The speed of destocking of refined copper society has slowed down, and the domestic destocking has entered the second half, and the destocking speed is expected to gradually decrease; 2) The refined waste price spread is repaired upward, Malaysia's restrictions are relaxed, scrap copper imports are expected to gradually recover, and refined waste substitution is difficult to maintain for a long time; 3) Weekly TC fell to the bottom of nearly six years, but refined copper production in the past two months has not been significantly affected, and the conductivity of ore disturbance still needs to be observed
    .

    Nonferrous metals ran weakly yesterday, and Shanghai copper ran at the intersection of short-term moving averages, and the price was somewhat supported
    .
    Yesterday's electrolytic copper maintained a slight discount, the early large destocking, refined waste substitution and other parts of the favorable has weakened, the effectiveness of the transmission of ore supply disturbance is doubtful, the fundamentals lack new driving force, copper prices into the end of the upward movement
    .
    However, the two sessions are approaching, the market still has expectations for policies, short-term prices have some support, the decline is not expected to be deep, and more attention is paid to protecting profits
