게시됨: Feb 6, 2025 09:56
According to the SMM imported ore cost-profit table, the profit margin of imported ore declined significantly. Based on the SMM survey, as of February 5, the operating rate of blast furnaces at 242 steel mills surveyed by SMM was 85.97%, up 0.37 percentage points MoM. The daily average pig iron production of the sampled steel mills was 2.3791 million mt, up 15,000 mt MoM. Pig iron production increased slightly. Coupled with the post-holiday restocking demand from steel mills, the overall demand for iron ore remained robust, providing some support to ore prices. However, during the holiday, the US announced a 10% tariff increase on Chinese goods, which disrupted futures prices. Additionally, the actual downstream demand is still in the verification phase, and market sentiment appears slightly pessimistic. In the short term, the tug-of-war between longs and shorts is expected to continue, and ore prices may fluctuate rangebound. It is anticipated that the profit margin of imported ore will fluctuate at low levels in the short term.
