Viewpoint: high shock. Before yesterday's offer, VALE's official website announced that the local court had approved a request for resumption of production in its Brucutu mining area, so the remaining 20 million tons of wet separation capacity in the mining area would resume production within 72 hours, after 10 million tons of dry separation capacity had returned to production. Affected by the news, the ore opened sharply lower, but then under the influence of Rio Tinto's target of reducing the shipping volume of the Pilbala mining area, it quickly rebounded. Then, the dollar index weakened, lost 97, commodities were again boosted, I1909 contract intraday high of 837, intraday amplitude as high as 6.2%. Under the rigid gap, the strong pattern of iron ore has not changed; on the steel side, although today's inventory data show that it is still accumulating, but the growth rate has slowed. Driven by the sharp rise in ore, but also showed an upward trend of warehouse increase; coke although the weak spot operation, more than 100 price reduction has been implemented on the ground, steel mills to crack down on coke price intention is obvious, but other black varieties of higher coke price to form a certain support. Generally speaking, at present, the macro level has warmed up, environmental protection has continued to limit production, and demand has not been worried about a cliff-like decline for the time being, and it is still treated as a bullish train of thought. However, after a sharp rally, there is a short-term shock to digest the need for early increases, prices are expected to run mainly to shock tomorrow. Strategy: RB1910 contract range (3650, 3900); I1909 contract range (750860), multiple orders can be reduced on high, after falling back, rolling operation.
