Gartner predicts that by 2030, new-type cloud (neo cloud) providers will account for 20% of the AI cloud market, or $267 billion. These new-type cloud providers are differentiating themselves through high-performance, flexible deployment of AI workloads, combined with a strong commitment to data sovereignty, and their pricing is typically more competitive. The AI cloud market is entering a new phase where sovereignty, performance, and infrastructure specialization have become the primary factors in enterprise decision-making. Demand for GPU-intensive workloads is accelerating, making it difficult for conventional cloud models to keep pace, thereby creating opportunities for new-type cloud providers to deliver AI infrastructure at scale.

This week, the ferrous metals sector rebounded slightly overall, with divergence among products: iron ore and hot-rolled coil/rebar performed relatively strong, while coke was relatively weak. Early in the week, affected by sluggish end-use consumption in the off-season and continued pressure on steel mill profits, futures for all products consolidated and weakened; mid-week, driven by the combined effects of rumors of a BHP worker strike, the repeated US-Iran geopolitical conflicts, and rising expectations of environmental protection-driven production restrictions in Tangshan, iron ore and hot-rolled coil/rebar spot and futures prices saw a period of stabilization and rebound.
