Risk Warning: Bulls: ☆ Short Risks: ☆ Tips before the break: Orient: Copper and aluminum: 10.1 During the long holiday period, LME copper in March showed a trend of rising shocks, and hit a new high for a few days after the long holiday. Driven by the price of copper, the price of aluminum also increased. The situation created a new high for several years. On the 10th of the 10th, LME copper stocks increased by more than 8,000 tons, which caused the price of copper to fall by a certain extent. However, the stocks continued to drop in the following days and the market worried about the threat of Chile's Codelco Copper Company's strike. The market was concerned about the tight supply of copper. Spot/three months During the copper premium season, it reached US$162.5/tonne yesterday, and it was 147.50 US dollars/ton yesterday, triggering fund buying. The copper price hit a new high yesterday, rising to 3071 US dollars at one time, and closed lower in the late afternoon. During the long holidays, crude oil prices rose sharply and hit a record high. Crude oil continued to rise to 53 US dollars in a row yesterday. High crude oil prices are bound to have an adverse impact on the global economy and will affect industrial production in Europe and the United States. This is bad, but copper prices have almost nothing to reflect. At the same time, during the long holidays, the U.S. dollar is also relatively strong. However, the price of copper does not reflect much. It can be seen that some external factors have not affected copper prices in the short term. The major factor affecting copper prices in the later period is inventory. Judging from the performance of copper prices during holidays, the market has entered a cyclical cycle with short covering in the market, which has led to a rise in futures prices. The rise in futures prices has once again attracted entry into fund buying, and further printing of large-scale short covering Recently, copper prices will remain high. Ma Hongqing: Copper: Stimulated by the high spot cash premium and the possible strike of CODECCO's Norte copper mine, LME copper prices rose strongly during the National Day holiday. Copper prices once set a new high since January 1995 on Thursday trading. Looking at the current inventory situation, it is unlikely that copper prices will fall in the short term. Technically, the pressure level of copper price lies within the range of 3080/3120, and the support is located at the 2980 line. Shanghai CU501 is expected to test daily limit prices on Friday, and investors are advised to wait and see. Aluminium: During the National Day holiday, LME aluminum prices rose strongly and reached a new high during the year. However, due to the fact that the aluminum price has not been well consolidated after the early expansion of the warehouse, the momentum of further aluminum price rise in the short term is slightly higher. Inadequate, but technically shows that aluminum prices have a strong support at the 1800/1820 line. Shanghai AL AL ​​412 is expected to test the pressure level of 17300 on Friday, and further pressure is placed on the 17500 line. It is recommended that investors hold long positions in their hands. When the futures price falls back to the 17200 line, they are considered to buy again, with a stop loss of 17,000. Overseas Express: During the 11th trading day when the China (Shanghai copper) market was absent, the London copper price surged from 2990 to 3065, setting a new high for the current round, closing at 3038 on October 6. Combined with the review of foreign brokers on this period of time and other market holiday operations, there are mainly the following promotion factors: On the supply side, due to the fact that the inventory is already low, and continues to decrease, plus two copper mines Workers may have a strike, and they also promoted the buying of copper; Fund buying into the market boosted copper prices, and short covering helped to boost the external market; economic data released during the period also favored copper prices. US business According to the data released by the Ministry of Commerce, construction spending in the United States rose by 0.8% month-on-month in August, higher than the 0.4% increase expected by economists. The increase of this data indicates that the demand for copper has increased, which will support the price of copper. The US ISM manufacturing index fell to 58.5 in September, slightly better than economists had expected. Although the lack of market external objective factors in this section of the market, including the dollar, interest rates, stock market, economic indicators, crude oil, copper strikes, and technological breakthroughs, we tend to increase the exposure of the holiday market. Summarized in the market for the boosted water market, the spot price of the spot price in March/October 6 was 152 US dollars/ton, and the spot price of London copper was 3,200. From a technical point of view, due to the increase in copper prices in the past three weeks, there are fewer amendments to the downtrend, there may be a market overbought, there may be technical corrections in copper prices, but because the fundamentals are in good condition, there may be a large number of bargain hunting discs, and the market also exists quite Substantial potential fund buying, if it re-enters the market, may push forward copper prices continue to rise.

On the 4th, the increase in LME copper, aluminum and nickel net inventory further encouraged the liquidation. On the 4th, the inventories of copper, aluminum and nickel increased. Analysts believe that the higher base metal prices will help increase the inventory, which is the performance of the market's normal adjustment function. The sharp increase in the US dollar also led to a decrease in the buying of basic metal market funds, because the strong US dollar will reduce the demand for base metals in non-dollar countries. On the 4th, LME copper inventories increased by 8,350 tons to 100,150 tons, mainly due to the increase in Singapore's inventory. Due to sparse buying of funds, the benchmark three-month copper before the LME floor trading has already fallen below 3,000 USD/metric ton.

LME nickel inventories rose by 606 tons to 14,928 tons, putting nickel prices under pressure. At present, the strike movements of Anglo American Platinum Corp. and Impala Platinum Holdings, South Africa, have not caused the market to worry too much about nickel production. Since the dealers believe that the zinc price is underestimated, there is a potential for zinc price increase. There are still trade and speculative buying in the three-month benchmark. However, under the increasing trade selling pressure, the zinc price did not break through the upward resistance of $1,140/ton. NEW YORK, Oct. 4 (Reuters) - The strengthening of the US dollar on Monday and the increase in copper stocks on the London Metal Exchange (LME) forced the closing of the New York Mercantile Exchange's (COMEX) copper futures lower. December copper fell 70 points to close at $1.3970 a pound. Analyst Dan Vaught said that the strong US dollar is one of the reasons for suppressing the lower prices of copper.

Analysts said that the base metal price is expected to rise, but the market expects that due to higher cyclical prices, there may be more liquidation and profit taking this week or later. As prices have risen, trade sales have increased, suppressing prices once again falling back to flat levels. Due to the lack of new news boost, the market direction is not clear, and the reduction in liquidation is due in part to the fact that China is in the National Day holiday. Currently, the market is still paying attention to the published LME inventory data and does not talk about the future level of inventory changes. Speculative buying increased during the pre-market trading period, copper and aluminum futures rose, aluminum trading was more active, but copper did not establish a clear direction, the aluminum stabilized at pre-upgrade, holding steady at 1,810-1,845/55 In the new high range of USD/metric ton, the closing price rose by US$10 to US$1833/ton.

As the market believes that the price of zinc has been underestimated, the establishment of a long position in the fund has further supported the zinc price test at 1,140 US dollars/ton, but failed to break through that level, closing down 5 US dollars/ton to 1122.5 yuan/ton. Lead continued to rise overnight on the 5th, intraday test above 940 US dollars / ton, closing slightly higher 1 US dollar to 927 US dollars / ton.

The money keeps coming into the market. He said:" All The fund and its associated funds are all buying at the March high of US$3,055 on copper. Before the LMEweek (a week-long meeting) arrives, I estimate that the price may increase, but at the moment it also leaves a lot of room for the downside. “The benchmark three-month copper is close to the key resistance level of US$3,050/ton, which closed up 51.5 US$ to US$3035/ton, and hit a six-month high of US$3,045/ton in the afternoon.

The premium and copper prices will prompt the LME copper stocks to increase.The expected three-month copper resistance at the benchmark is at US$3,060/tonne, above this level, it may be tested at US$3,080/ton, with support at US$3,000/ton. Below this level, it may test $2,980/ton. The popularity of the lead market was also positive. The former hit a nine-year high and the latter reached a contract high in the afternoon. Analysts worry that if copper fails to break the 3,055 level, it may signal the formation of a triple top pattern. An analyst of the brokerage company Triland Metals Carlsson said in the report that it is necessary to dispel the possibility of copper forming a triple top at 3,055. He expects to close above 3,060 in the short-term. The spot/three-month copper inverse spread is about $150, slightly earlier from $162.50. The latter is also a relatively high level since April.

Affecting the number of futures this week Key factors in price movement Chinese traders are returning to the market after the National Day holiday is over, and the US’s employment report will be released on the 8th.Analysts said that due to the increase in base metal futures prices over the closing level on September 30, Chinese traders may return to the market to cover their short positions. The benchmark three-month zinc still closely follows the trend of other base metals, setting a new high of US$1,157.50/ton in 7 months, closing at US$22.5 to US$1150/ton, and expecting the next resistance at US$1,175/ton.

Analysts expect more short-covering, and the continued rise in the base metal futures price will once again attract fund buying into the market, triggering more massive short-covering, showing a healthy cyclical trend. The benchmark three-month aluminum futures reached a record high of US$1878.5/ton in nine years, but it ended slightly lower at the close of US$1,847.5/ton due to profit-taking and copper gains.
