Copper: The price of secondary copper in Foshan market is stable today. LME copper bounced back again after several days, and the main contract of SHFE copper hovered below 72,000 yuan. The rebound of short-term copper is still limited. Some analysts believe that the current epidemic situation is under control, and Shanghai is making efforts to promote the resumption of commerce and production. In the short term, there is support from non-ferrous metals. In the medium and long term, the Fed raises interest rates, the valuation of industrial products is on the high side, and there is pressure above the copper price. Recently, there is a phenomenon in the spot copper market, that is, the recovery price is high and the bid price of factories and enterprises is low, which makes it more difficult to trade recycled copper. However, for the copper market outlook, the traders are still cautious and optimistic. It is expected that the short-term copper price will still fluctuate in the range, and the pressure still needs to be digested.

Recently, the market has paid more attention to whether orders have effectively increased and how the epidemic situation has affected the economy.
