It is recommended to strengthen observation and pay attention to policy changes [3] - The US tariff policy may suppress future nickel demand, and with the continuous surplus of pure nickel, nickel prices are expected to fluctuate weakly [5] - The US tariff policy causes a callback in tin prices, but the recovery of the downstream semiconductor industry may support demand, and price fluctuations are expected to increase. It is recommended to build positions at low prices [6] Group 3: Summary by Metal Type Copper - As of April 7, the main 05 contract of Shanghai copper closed at 73,640 yuan/ton, down 7.01%.
