게시됨: Feb 27, 2025 17:29
Today, Dalian iron ore futures continued to fluctuate downward. The most-traded I2505 contract closed at 805 yuan/mt, down 0.8% for the day. Traders sold goods based on market conditions, while steel mills purchased as needed. Market transaction sentiment was moderate. Mainstream transaction prices fell by 0-5 yuan/mt compared to yesterday. Based on today's inventory and apparent demand data for the five major steel products, the growth in apparent demand for rebar slowed. Total inventory slightly increased, indicating downstream demand is still recovering. However, iron ore was affected by crude steel production cuts, leading to weak fluctuations. Considering industrial data support and the approaching Two Sessions, market sentiment remained moderate, and short-term ore prices are unlikely to see significant declines, maintaining rangebound fluctuations.
