    Copper period

    In terms of the market, the external market was closed, and there was a lack of external guidance, and Shanghai copper fluctuated
    around 49,400 yuan / ton.
    Holders maintained the quotation premium of 30~120 yuan / ton, but the market lacked enthusiasm for inquiry and showed indifference, and the holders took the initiative to reduce the premium to 10~110 yuan / ton, but the transaction was still difficult to boost
    .

    In the second trading session, traders eager to exchange cash have been as low as 90~100 yuan / ton, and flat water copper has gradually dropped to near
    flat water in order to seek transactions.
    The supply of wet copper is limited, the quotation is stable at the quotation discount of 70~40 yuan / ton, the downstream performance is not strong, and there is a serious lack of active
    buying.
    Shanghai copper contracts in the past six months have little room for spreads, under the lack of external guidance, traders' arbitrage space has been blocked, speculation willingness has declined, market participation has dropped significantly, and the performance is calm
    .
    Spot mainstream trading still maintained the level of last Friday's quotations, and the supply and demand sides continued to stalemate and tug-of-war
    .
    The afternoon market fell, due to the light market transaction, the holder was forced to reduce the price, so there was a spot quotation and a fall in copper prices, and in the afternoon, flat water copper has appeared a discount source, but there are still few receivers
    .

    Due to the Easter holiday, the London Metal Exchange (LME) will be closed on
    Monday, April 22.

    45%.

    The economy has started smoothly and there have been positive changes, monetary easing is unlikely in the short term, and RRR reduction is still possible, but it is more of a hedging or structural adjustment nature
    .
    China may pay more attention to structural reform, the most relaxed period of capital has passed, market enthusiasm has cooled, and spot copper prices are expected to fall
