2006年8月上海期货交易所市场综述

MARKET REVIEW OF THE SHANGHAI FUTURES EXCHANGE IN AUGUST 2006

8月，国际期铜市场震荡盘整，波动区间收窄，智利铜矿罢工对供应造成威胁以及创纪录的镍价为铜市带来支撑，但美国经济增长放缓迹象以及欧洲地区升息等因素令铜市压力重重。上海铜市总体跟随伦铜震荡，市场交投谨慎。主力0610合约收盘价67280元，较上月跌430元；其他主要合约涨跌幅在-1980～2510元之间。

In August, London Metal Exchange （LME） copper market moved in a relatively limited range. LME copper price was lifted by thestrike action at Chile＇s giant Escondida copper mine, but was depressed with the anticipation of economic depression in the United States. The Shanghai copper futures performed with the international copper futures this month. The most active contract copper 0610 on the SHFE closed at 67,280 yuan per ton, down 430 yuan from end-June. Other contracts ranged from 1,980 yuan down to 2,510 yuan up.
