    On the industry front, BHP Billiton Plc said it offered a new labor contract proposal to workers' unions at its Escondida copper mine in Chile, including an inflation-adjusted salary and a $23,000 bonus
    per worker.
    The latest contract proposal fails to meet some of the union's previous needs
    .

    In terms of news, the $200 billion tariff triggered a rise in market pessimism, as government agencies and industry figures spoke, the market boosted confidence, and the US Department of Commerce announced that it had signed an agreement with China ZTE to cancel the ban
    on US suppliers doing business with ZTE for nearly three months.

    Overall, although copper supply is generally loose, the recent exchange rate, smelting capacity release progress and seasonal changes in demand are all favorable to front-month contracts, especially the 1808 contract, so focus on term structure opportunities
