    In the external market, Apanlon copper opened high at 6540 US dollars / ton, and then adjusted around the daily moving average, during which the intraday high of 6550 US dollars / ton
    was tested.

    300 yuan / ton.
    The day is the last trading day of the 07 contract, and the price difference between the current month and the next month fluctuates sharply, and the morning market price difference is still fluctuating
    in the range of 40~70 yuan / ton.
    Intraday is the last 2007 contract trading day, the market price spread is positive and widening, spot is also temporarily showing an overall premium situation, but copper prices are still high, the supply of goods is still loose, the transaction is difficult to improve significantly, after the change of month, it may still only maintain a slight premium pattern, the situation of supply and demand tug-of-war will continue
    .
    In the afternoon, the plate first rose and then declined, the spot premium rose slightly, especially good copper, because of the limited supply of options, so the good copper lift water lift more to 40-50 yuan / ton, flat water copper is limited, the premium 10-20 yuan / ton, the transaction price still hovers at 52370-52580 yuan / ton
    .

    Shanghai copper volatility fell during the day, mainly due to the cold
    macro sentiment.
    At present, the number of confirmed cases of the new crown epidemic in the world continues to rise to nearly 13.
    5 million, and the escalating new crown epidemic crisis has once again clouded the prospects of economic recovery; In addition, Sino-US relations are becoming increasingly tense, Trump publicly "persuaded" the European Union to boycott Huawei on the grounds of trade policy, and with the escalating suppression of the United States, the British government issued a decision to stop buying new Huawei equipment and dismantle used Huawei equipment
    by 2027.
    In this situation, risk aversion in the market has re-accumulated, and copper prices have come under pressure to fall
    .
    Waiting for external guidance, test Shanghai copper rose again to recover losses
