2023-12-19
Copper: The spot copper price in Foshan market fell slightly today, and trading continued to be cautious. Short-term copper prices remained high and fluctuated sideways, waiting for more directions. On the news, the uncertainty of global central bank's interest rate has warmed up the cautious atmosphere in the market. The market basically digested the expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut, superimposed the hawkish remarks of the Fed's No.3 figure on Monday, which broke the optimism of the market, and copper prices fell slightly under pressure. Fundamentally, China's refined copper output in November increased by 12.3% year-on-year to 1.14 million tons, and the domestic demand was weak. The real estate was in trouble, which dragged down the demand for industrial metals, and the superimposed spot consumption was dull, and the market trading remained bleak. In the short term, the pressure above the copper price is obvious, but the downside is also expected to be limited.

Recently, the consumption of aluminum market has improved obviously, and the continuous decline of domestic aluminum ingot social storage is close to the lowest point in the year, which has formed a strong support for aluminum prices. However, there is no big warming trend in the downstream construction of aluminum, and the enthusiasm of terminal stocking is not good, which limits the increase.
