Copper: Today, the copper price in Foshan market fell slightly, and the trading sentiment in the market continued to be cautious. Sino-US economic and trade talks issued a joint statement to relieve the pressure on the global economy, and non-ferrous metal futures generally rose. However, LME copper continued to test and wait around $9,500 because the inventory of refined copper in the United States rose above 160,000 short tons and reached a new high, superimposed on the softening of gold and the strengthening of the US dollar index. At present, it has entered the off-season of seasonal demand, and the market trading sentiment is slightly cautious. Most merchants wait and see, and the domestic electrolytic copper has greatly narrowed the premium before delivery. Judging from the current situation, the international geopolitical war has eased and Sino-US relations have eased, which is beneficial to the trend of copper prices. However, the development of the global economic situation and the changeable measures of the United States are still under pressure, and it is expected that the short-term wait-and-see oscillation will be slightly stronger.
