Key quotes
“The combination of fiscal stimulus and monetary stimulus in China to temper the virus' effect, along with the growth in new cases now taking place outside of China, suggest the worst may be behind the Middle Kingdom and offers base metals a semblance of support.”
"The renewed weakness in markets has seen CTAs turn sellers in copper, although the selling program is coming to a close, while it is also important to note that funds in our China Smart Money Index remain comfortably long the red metal.
