The Fed’s dovish remarks caused the dollar index to pull back from a high level; the National Reserve Bureau announced The first batch of copper dumping reserves was 20,000 tons, which was slightly lower than expected. The worries had been eased before. Upstream domestic copper mine inventories continued to grow, and copper ore processing fees TC rose steadily, indicating that the tightness of copper mines has improved.
