[review and Prospect]:

Futures: this week's snail trend is weak, as of today snail 1910 contract settlement price 3970, compared with Friday 3992 yuan / ton, down 22 yuan / ton.

Spot: the national average price of screw thread rose 1.8 yuan / ton to 4044.6 yuan / ton from 4042.8 yuan / ton last Friday. The weekly average price rose 7 yuan per ton, compared with an average weekly price of 4057.7 yuan per ton this week.

Futures deviated slightly this week, with snails continuing last week's decline without particularly good news, while spot prices remained strong despite a weaker fundamentals this week (thread production rallied again this week) for the following reasons:

First of all, on the supply side, on the one hand, under the environmental protection and production restriction policy, all independent rolling mills in Tangshan area have been closed; on the other hand, from the profit situation of steel mills, under the strong pull-up of the raw material side (iron ore, coke price), the profit compression and expansion is inevitable, and the willingness to push up the price is strong. Short process steel plant, recently, electric arc furnace steel plant again into the loss state (according to SMM data model calculation, as of July 18, 2350 yuan / ton tax scrap steel price calculation, electric arc furnace steel plant ton steel loss 5 yuan / ton), and scrap steel price momentum is still strong (a few days ago East China mainstream steel plant scrap price increase 60 yuan / ton), so with the continued deterioration of profit and loss situation, follow-up electric arc furnace steel plant thread supply may be reduced. In addition, the recent thread "quality inspection" in some parts of East China is under way, therefore, the improvement of thread supply may not be sustainable.

Secondly, on the demand side, with the emergence of plum in the southern region, the desalination of seasonal interference will make the release of rigid demand for building materials more smooth.

Therefore, generally speaking, at present, the basic improvement of thread has begun to show signs, spot prices pull up power to strengthen, next week near the end of the month, if the environmental protection production restriction policy stimulus, thread spot price or show concussion strong situation.

[fundamentals]

Under the influence of the recent maintenance end of the steel mills with maintenance plans and the relaxation of production restrictions in some steel enterprises in Tangshan, the thread supply has increased slightly again this week. However, the situation in which it continues to push higher is not sustainable.

On the one hand, Tangshan Fengrun District issued a strengthened control plan for the prevention and control of air pollution in the second half of July, requiring local independent rolling mills to implement production restrictions. According to SMM research, as of today, Tangshan Kaiping District, Yutian County, Fengrun District of the independent rolling mill has been closed. On the other hand, according to the statistical model of SMM data, as of the 18th, under the rise of scrap prices (Shagang and Zhongtian raised scrap prices again in the past two days), arc furnace steel mills once again turned profits into losses, and the subsequent start-up rate may decline again.

2. Demand side: the downstream industry is running smoothly, and the seasonal interference weakens the demand release.

This week, the National Bureau of Statistics released real estate-related data, from the data point of view, in the off-season, rigid demand performance exceeded expectations, the real estate industry continued to operate smoothly, the infrastructure industry rose steadily. With the emergence of plum in the southern market in late July, the reduction of precipitation will accelerate the release of demand for building materials.

[inventory]

This week, the situation of double increase in the social pool of the factory continued, with the total treasury increasing by 238600 tons compared with the previous month. The expansion of the general database is mainly dragged down by the social database. This week's social database is up 159900 tons from last week, or + 2.8 per cent from the previous month.

On the one hand, terminal demand, demand this week is still in the off-season, in addition to Monday macro positive data led to some transactions, the next few days the market mood to cool. On the other hand, the output of steel mills has continued to increase this week. At present, steel mills in Tangshan and Wu'an areas are still in a state of limited production, and steel mills in other areas are still in a state of full production because of profits.

[macro and policy aspects]

1. Ministry of Ecological Environment and other four ministries issue "Comprehensive Control Plan of Air pollution in Industrial furnaces and kilns"

The Ministry of Ecology and Environment and other four ministries issued the Programme for the Comprehensive Control of Air pollution in Industrial furnaces and kilns. The key tasks mainly include: (1) strengthening the adjustment of industrial structure. Strict environmental access for construction projects. 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.

two。 Transmission by the National Development and Reform Commission: resolutely prevent the withdrawal of iron and steel and coal from production capacity and resurgence

On the morning of 16 July, the National Development and Reform Commission held a regular press conference on the theme of July. Meng Wei, deputy director of the political research office and spokesman for the committee, said: in the third quarter, the relevant departments will carry out supervision and inspection of the work of eliminating backwardness and resolving excess capacity in the steel and coal sectors, so as to resolutely prevent the resurgence of withdrawn production capacity. In the field of iron and steel, the National Development and Reform Commission, in conjunction with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State Administration of Market Supervision, issued the "Circular on the Prevention of excess production capacity in the Iron and Steel Industry". It puts forward clear requirements for local governments to effectively prevent new production capacity in violation of laws and regulations and the resurgence of "ground strip steel".

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. It is prohibited to carry out environmental protection classification evaluation in 15 industries, such as iron and steel, coal and so on.

China will make greater efforts to regulate the production limit of high energy-consuming industries more accurately. It is reported that the relevant departments are planning to carry out performance grading evaluation and differentiation management in 15 key industries, such as iron and steel, coal, cement, chemical industry and so on. Through the production process level, treatment technology and other indicators to formulate performance rating rules, the industry enterprises will be divided into A, B, C grades, in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and surrounding, Yangtze River Delta region, Fenwei Plain and other key environmental protection areas, according to different weather conditions, according to the grade to take different measures to stop production.

The current reality is that the continuous investment in capital construction has brought about the continuous growth of iron and steel demand, and China's steel industry has met the supply and demand of iron and steel materials for production and construction in the development of the national economy. Without a high increase in steel production, the current scale of infrastructure could not be achieved.
