Strategy - The futures market rebounded before the close on the day, mainly affected by the overall strength of commodities, inventory reduction, and warehouse receipt cancellation. There was some support during the consumption peak season, the short - term supply - demand pattern was good, and the inventory was continuously decreasing, providing some support to the market. It was expected that the market would fluctuate in the short term. The policy disturbance at the mine end had weakened. If the mines resumed production and consumption weakened later, the market might decline [3]. - For unilateral trading, short - term range - bound operations were recommended. If the market rebounded significantly, selling hedging could be carried out at high prices. There were no specific strategies for options, inter - delivery spread, cross - variety, and spot - futures trading [3][4].
