LME copper stocks showed a declining trend, with an ending inventory of 92,000 tons. LME aluminum stocks also continued to show a declining trend this week, with 680,575 tons of stocks on weekends. This week's strong rise in LME copper price is closely related to the market's expected tight copper supply.

The futures price hit a new high in 15 years. In addition to experiencing a sharp signal on the current technical indicators, After the rise, the index has become overbought, but there is no sign of peaking. In view of the kinetic energy index that reflects the increase in the price of the period, there is still the possibility that the price of the futures will continue to record new heights. From the fact that the consolidation zone of 2500/2850 was broken, the target price of copper will reach the 3200 line. Shanghai CU CU501 is expected to hit the daily limit again on Monday.

The key position, which is quite passive for the bears. The technical momentum indicator indicates that aluminum futures still have the possibility of further innovation. Therefore, we can further establish the long position with the 1820/1830 range as the stop loss. The corresponding domestic aluminum price will be the 17100/17200 range. It is expected that Shanghai Al AL501 will test the pressure level of 17800 on Monday and the further pressure lies at 18,000. Support level is 17500.

Spot copper prices in the Shanghai market have reached the level of 31820-31950 yuan/ton. From the standpoint of price increases during the “11th” period, the overall metal market has a certain degree of synchronicity. From this perspective, it is very likely that the international crude oil prices have continued to soar, reviving the market’s forecast for inflation and commodity prices. Adjustments. Of course, the good situation of the fundamentals of the copper market itself continues to serve as a bullish effect. From the current price point of view, the previous high point of Powei and the historical high point of the Sumitomo event close to the real show of the strong momentum of copper prices, but the room for growth has been difficult to predict. From the perspective of comex's position, the room for growth should still be substantial, although the current price is already quite high, but at such prices, comex is almost crazy expansion, it is impossible to merely technically bullish positions, It seems that oil prices will not fall in a short period of time. This is another major support factor for this purchase.
