2024-10-14
Copper: Spot copper prices in Foshan market rose slightly across the board today, and market sentiment remained cautious. After the National Day, copper futures continued to fluctuate at a high level, and the traders were still optimistic about the trend of copper prices in the market outlook, because there were still many policy boosts. The Ministry of Finance made a heavy voice. The central government still has a large room for borrowing and will launch a package of incremental policy measures. A number of banks will adjust the stock mortgage interest rate from the 25th, which has a key impact on the real estate market. In September, the sales of new energy vehicles increased by 50.9% year-on-year, boosting the copper market for automobiles, and the optimistic market sentiment supported the trend of excessive copper prices. At present, the price difference between refined copper and scrap has narrowed to promote refined copper consumption, but the spot end has once again fallen into a wait-and-see state due to high prices. Short-term high copper prices still have profit pressure, but it is expected that the general direction will be strong.

The market is increasingly worried about the supply interruption of Guinea, a key bauxite exporter, which is expected to further aggravate the tension in the alumina market.
