[SMM Iron & Steel] Raipur Billet Prices Edge Higher

Raipur billet prices rose by around 2 USD/tonne day-on-day to about 453 USD/tonne EXW. The increase was supported by previous bookings, moderate buying interest, and firmer sentiment in neighbouring markets. However, spot procurement remained cautious as buyers assessed whether the recovery could continue. Near-term billet momentum will depend on finished steel demand and follow-up transactions.

In the short term, ferrous metals will remain under pressure [SMM Steel Industry Chain Weekly Report]

This week, ferrous metals edged higher before extending their pullback, with coking coal posting the largest decline. At the beginning of the week, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and other departments issued a notice on launching a three-year campaign for energy conservation and carbon reduction in key industries, and news that the U.S. and Iran were to sign a memorandum of understanding on the 19th improved market sentiment, lifting all ferrous metals. In the latter half of the week, expectations for an eighth round of coke price hikes materialized in the futures market.

Silicon Metal Futures Fluctuate within a Narrow Range, Spot Market Largely Stable [SMM Silicon Industry Weekly Review]

[Silicon metal futures fluctuate narrowly, spot market largely stable]: Downstream and trader procurement sentiment is cautious, with some users digesting previous low-price inventories. Clients outside China have purchase price expectations lower than current prices, and sentiment for new orders in the market is sluggish. Some users expect to purchase via futures point pricing at around 8,400-8,500 yuan/mt. On the supply side, the increase in operating rates of silicon enterprises in Sichuan and Yunnan during the rainy season is already within expectations, with few new variables in the market. As variables on both supply and demand sides are highly deterministic in the short term, market sentiment in the buyer-seller tug-of-war appears rational. The silicon metal price center is expected to remain near the low end of the range in the near term.
