[summary of SMM hot roll cycle] the fundamentals continue to weaken this week. Can we make a big turnaround next week?

[review this week]

Spot: as of Friday, the national average price of hot roll is 3895.8 yuan / ton, compared with 3886.4 yuan / ton last week.

Futures: as of Friday, the national settlement price of hot volume is 3869 yuan / ton, up from 3853 yuan / ton last week + 16 yuan / ton.

This week's hot roll period is now both up and then down. Overall, although the social database continued to accumulate as the mainstream market continued to arrive this week, the fundamentals continued to weaken, but in all kinds of news (the new policy requires all rolling mills in Tangshan to stop production) and macro data improved more than expected (sales of all kinds of excavators in June were 15121, up 6.58% from a year earlier; retail sales of broad passenger cars in June were 1.8 million, up 4.9% from a year earlier. ), demand reversed slightly in the off-season, and the transaction situation rebounded significantly compared with the previous period.

At the same time, this ore again new news, stimulate iron ore prices continue to rise, coupled with the recent expansion of production restrictions led to Jiangsu, Shanxi and other places coking enterprises production restrictions, stimulating coke prices to rise, so raw material prices continue to rise.

Therefore, under the pessimistic performance that fundamentals continue to weaken, it is gratifying that spot prices have not loosened and remained unchanged this week.

[fundamentals]

1. Supply side: steel mills will increase production and share production costs, and supply may continue to be under pressure next week.

Recently, the production situation of steel mills in various regions has been comprehensively followed up. To sum up,

So overall, there is a good chance that the supply situation will remain high next week. However, it is worth mentioning that in early August, Tangshan environmental protection production and reduction will be gradually reflected in the market, coupled with the rise in raw material prices, compression of hot rolling steel mill production profits, or will lead to steel mills have a greater willingness to reduce production, so it is expected that the supply pressure in August may be gradually alleviated.

2. Demand side: macro data is better than expected, demand is slightly released, and demand may improve next week.

This week, because the macro data improved more than expected, the terminal wait-and-see demand was slightly released (some market traders reported that the Kaiping data reached the recent maximum value this week), so although it is still in the traditional off-season, but in the downstream macro data and some steel mills to boost the stimulus, the later may gradually improve out of the off-season.

[outlook for next week]

From the supply side and demand side next week, the fundamental performance may improve compared with the early stage, coupled with Tangshan environmental production restrictions once again strengthen the support of raw material prices, it is expected that the probability of spot prices next week is expected to show a strong trend.

[inventory]

Although the general treasury continued to increase this week, the fundamental performance is still relatively weak, but the growth of factory and social libraries has slowed down, and when the late Tangshan environmental production restrictions are reflected in the market, the inventory situation may take a turn for the better.

On the treasury side: the total inventory of hot rolls in the country this week was 3.4031 million tons, + 1.6 percent compared with the previous week and + 6.3 percent over the same period last year.

Steel plant inventory: this week's hot rolling mill warehouse of 995300 tons, month-on-month ratio of + 3.1%, compared with the same period last year-6.9%.

Social inventory: this week hot rolled social warehouse 2.4078 million tons, month-on-month ratio of + 1.0%, year-on-year + 12.9%.

It is strictly forbidden to increase the production capacity of iron and steel, coking, electrolytic aluminum, casting, cement and flat glass, and strictly implement the measures for the replacement of production capacity in iron and steel, cement, flat glass and other industries. We will increase backward production capacity and eliminate substandard industrial furnaces and kilns. (2) to speed up the replacement of clean and low carbon fuels. (3) to carry out in-depth control of pollution. We will promote industrial furnaces and kilns to meet the discharge standards in an all-round way. (4) to carry out the comprehensive renovation of industrial parks and industrial clusters.

The rectification of real estate trust is targeted, therefore, the leverage of the property market will continue to be limited, real estate speculation will not get out of control, "housing does not speculate" the direction will not deviate. At the same time, it can also give full play to the decentralized financing risk of real estate trust, and promote the real estate docking of the real economy and the needs of the people to live in peace. 4.
