    On the macro front, the US employment recovery in July was far ahead of schedule, and the Fed's early exit expectations strengthened, but this also confirmed that the economy is strong, and the short-term may cause financial market volatility to increase
    .
    However, from historical experience, the economy has indeed entered a growth cycle, and when the interest rate level is still low, the stock market and commodities remain strong
    .
    In the short term, pay attention to the pressure of
    the epidemic on the domestic stock market and commodities.

    In terms of stocks, domestic copper stocks on Friday were 171,000 tons, up 20,000 tons from the previous week, and China's bonded copper stocks were 392,000 tons, down 17,500 tons
    from last week.
    Bonded inventories fell for four consecutive weeks and imports increased
    .
    Overall, the off-season accumulation is mild, but the growth of domestic inventories has led to significant pressure on premiums
    .

    In terms of the market, as copper prices fell last Friday, the price difference of fine scrap narrowed to 500 yuan, scrap copper merchants were reluctant to sell obviously, the price advantage of low-oxygen rods over fine copper rods disappeared, and the purchase of fine copper rods increased
    slightly.
    In addition, as the premium fell, traders increased purchases again, and the premium rose slightly to 150 yuan
    .
    Reflecting the significant strengthening
    of low-priced spot support.

    On the news front, Chile's Escondida mining union called on workers to prepare
    for a strike.
    Mediation
    is likely to continue this week as a procedure.
    But the risk of strikes increases
    .

    Copper prices retreated last week, with the basis narrowing slightly, and the previously hotter spot market sentiment gradually returned to calm
    .
    Copper prices will find strong support in the short term, mainly due to persistently low
    inventory levels.
    Copper prices may continue to be under pressure in the short term, focusing on the downstream replenishment capacity
    behind the price pullback.
