    On the macro front, the Asian dollar index fluctuated weakly and continued to trade around 92 as the market became risk-averse to North
    Korea's missile test.
    In addition, data from the National Development and Reform Commission showed that electricity consumption increased by 6.
    4% year-on-year in August and 9.
    9% year-on-year in July, further slowing down, continuing to cause market concerns about
    China's economic growth.

    2%.

    In terms of the market, on September 15, Shanghai electrolytic copper spot traded at 60 yuan / ton - 140 yuan / ton for the monthly contract, and the trading price of flat water copper was 50250-50450 yuan / ton
    .
    The price difference in the morning market is still in the range of 100-130 yuan, the market quotation is disordered, some of the quotations for the month remain stable at 100-130 yuan / ton, and the quotation of 1710 contracts is 10-30 yuan / ton, traders receive more goods, and the transaction is active

    of 1710 liters of water.
    The spread narrowed rapidly in the next month, once the spread between the two contracts has been flattened, and even briefly inverted, the contract quotation of the month has also dropped sharply, the market inquiry atmosphere is active, and the proportion of trade speculators entering the market has once again become the main force, mostly relying on
    the spot premium after the month change.

    During the day, the Shanghai copper 1711 contract weakly oscillated to 50380 yuan / ton, continuing to pay attention to whether the support of London copper of 6500 US dollars / ton is effective, while being wary of the downside risk
    caused by the continuous increase in London copper inventory.
    In operation, it is recommended that the Shanghai copper 1711 contract turn from short to oscillating, which can be sold high and low in the range of 50,000-50,600 yuan, with a stop loss of 450 yuan / ton
    each.
