The current trend of copper is mainly affected
by two factors: macro demand and supply disturbances.
Macro demand is now reflected in global recession expectations and the Fed's interest rate hikes to tighten the money supply
.
The good US non-farm payrolls data on October 6 and 7 may continue to prompt the Fed to take more aggressive interest rate hikes, which also caused a sharp retreat during the copper holiday
.
The Fed's increased hawkishness indicates that the determination to fight inflation remains unchanged, and the downward pressure on copper prices is greater
.
However, the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to escalate, inflation trading logic still exists, and Europe is about to enter winter, and the speculation of the energy crisis is expected to reopen
.
The macro is currently intertwined with long and short, and there is a risk of
stagflation.
