The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology requested that the copper smelting capacity of over 650,000 tons be shut down before the end of September, including the recycled copper industry, and the oversupply problem in the copper market will gradually become more prominent in the second half of the year. The elimination of copper production capacity is not only beneficial to the environment but also to the late fundamental market. Provide a small support, but the mitigation effect is more limited.

● China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced on Thursday the list of the first batch of enterprises in the industrial sector to eliminate backward production capacity, involving copper smelting, alumina and zinc smelting and other industries, indicating that China's actions to resolve overcapacity problems are being further implemented.

[Auditor Reads Finance]

● UBS: Three reasons do not have to worry about the Fed slowing QE

Interpretation: The Fed has made it clear that unless the economy is better and does not require further QE support, the Fed will not withdraw QE. Second, the utility of QE-type monetary policy should have its lag. Even if the Fed gradually stops expanding its balance sheet, the US banking industry will still be full of liquidity and excess reserves that have been added to the banking system. Finally, there is a growing likelihood that rising mortgage rates will not significantly reduce home mortgage demand.

● IMF urges US effective communication exit strategy to avoid excessive interest rate fluctuations

Interpretation: The annual review of the US economy said that the withdrawal of the Fed from the QE may trigger a market reaction, resulting in “excessive” interest rate volatility, which will have a negative impact on the world. Although the Fed has a range of tools to manage the normalization of the currency, the central bank still faces “significant challenges” in exiting the stimulus. While easing policy continues to provide the necessary support for recovery, it should carefully measure its impact on financial stability, as ultra-low interest rates remain too long and have unintended consequences for financial stability, which will make macroeconomic policies in some emerging markets more complicated.
