The current characteristics of the non-ferrous metal industry are mainly reflected in the following four aspects:

1, the rise of financial attributes

The recent price fluctuations of non-ferrous metals have always been more frequent, and the mutual restraint of multiple factors determines the weakness of its upward, to fall. On the one hand, the world economy has returned to the upward cycle, demand recovery, inventory decline.

On the other hand, the European sovereign debt crisis triggered a new round of worries, the yuan index responded to the strong rebound. In this context, the financial attributes of non-ferrous metals quickly control market prices.

After entering the industrialized society, copper and other major non-ferrous metal markets appeared spot and futures coexist. The explosion of global information technology makes the price of each region more real-time and transparent, which provides a decisive basis for non-ferrous metal futures to become a typical derivative financial commodity.

At present, the price trend of major non-ferrous metals in domestic and foreign markets has not fully reflected the relationship between supply and demand. Changes in exchange rates, interest rates and tax rates of major countries in the world often have more impact on their prices than changes in supply and demand. Monetary liquidity decides the basic trend of the price of non-ferrous metals in the market.

4. The market pattern is constantly adjusting

In order to gain competitive advantages and control superior resources, the strategic adjustment characterized by alliance, merger and reorganization has been continuing. BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Vale and other three integrated mining companies have a short history of development; The highly competitive Glencore is only a decade old. It is expected that the distribution pattern of non-ferrous metal enterprises in the world will continue to change.
