    Fundamentally, domestic and foreign mine disruptions continued, and the Las Bambas copper mine agreement was difficult to reach, and it was announced that production would be suspended until this Saturday
    .
    Affected by the epidemic, copper concentrate transportation at domestic Erlian ports continues to be suspended, and it is currently scheduled to resume
    next week.
    The TC index fell for two consecutive weeks
    .
    The long single processing fee for copper concentrate in 2022 was finalized at US$65/mt, up US$5.
    5/mt from 2021, a shorter-than-market increase, implying that buyers and sellers are still concerned
    about supply disruptions in 2022.

    At the macro level, US inflation has soared, the Federal Reserve has accelerated debt reduction, and the US dollar will remain strong; Domestic liquidity has shown signs of easing, infrastructure construction has advanced, and cross-cycle adjustment has
    been strengthened.
    On the supply side, the recovery of TC has slowed down, the disturbance of power restrictions has been eliminated, the production of refined copper has rebounded, the recent import sources have continued to flow, the domestic scrap copper supply has been affected under the epidemic, and the price difference of refined waste has fallen
    .
    On the demand side, domestic inventories are at a low level, and the premium is rising at a low level, indicating that demand is acceptable after the price correction
    .
    Overseas inventories increased, and spot premiums remained positive
    .
