< 3 > simple playback of this week's issue

1. The main factors of this week's multi-empty game include, but are not limited to:

(1) the domestic epidemic in the United States has further worsened, the election situation of psychopath Trump is urgent, the political division has intensified, and social contradictions have escalated, "urgent transfer of domestic contradictions" to curb the unscrupulous and even war threat to China!

(2) the need for transmission at the executive meeting of the State Council shall be added.

(3) the demand for post-disaster reconstruction is increased after the end of the flood season.

(4) the apparent demand converges further.

(5) the output will decline in stages and then expand.

(6) the social inventory has been built for 6 consecutive weeks, and the inventory in Hangzhou market remains high due to the huge loss of arbitrage in the current period.

(7) the epidemic situation in mineral-producing countries such as Brazil, India and South Africa is getting worse.

(8) the price of coke has stopped falling and rising. No, no.

(9) the production limit of Tangshan Independent Rolling Mill is strict.

(10) the Baltic dry bulk index continued to fall sharply.

(11) the offshore RMB exchange rate fluctuates by 7.0.

(12) Dollar Index breaks through 95

2. Spot: the center of gravity of steel prices continued to move upward this week: rebar rose by 10: 40 yuan / ton in most regions, while it fell by 10: 40 yuan / ton in a few areas (down 40 yuan in Beijing, 20 yuan in Chongqing, 10 yuan in Zhengzhou and 10 yuan in Guangzhou)

4. Futures operation suggestion

Thread, hot roll: last week, the author suggested that the upper edge of the range near the value of more than a single surplus to leave the field, the activist empty single appropriate amount of intervention. Next week, it is suggested that the empty order should not only leave the market, but also get involved in the bargain-hunting process.

Iron ore: in the range, the bargain is still dominated by bargain, the holdings are reduced near the upper value, and the preferred option is more than one month.

Coke: choose more machine cloth in the range of activists, and it is suitable for fast in and out.

Coking coal: wait and see, chicken rib market.

< 5 > Information and heart words.

1. [Xuzhou Coke Enterprises plan to increase 50 yuan / ton] on the 24th, the mentality of the coke market in Xuzhou area of Jiangsu Province has improved, and the shipments are smooth. Now a local coke enterprise plans to increase 50 yuan / ton on July 25th, and after the increase, the quasi-first-class dry quenching quotation is 2150 yuan / ton. because the order is sufficient, it will not be sold at this price for the time being.

2. As of July 24, inventories at 35 ports tracked by SMM totaled 105.21 million tons, an increase of 2.31 million tons over the previous week and a decrease of 1.09 million tons from the same period last year. Port inventory has accumulated for the sixth week in a row, and the growth rate continues to expand. The average daily dredging volume of the port decreased by 278000 tons to 2.533 million tons compared with the previous period. Since the end of last week, automobile transportation in Tangshan area has been banned, and only a small amount of fire transportation has been banned. The average daily port dredging of Jingtang and Caofeidian ports has dropped by more than 330000 tons compared with last week, or more than 50%, resulting in a significant decline in the overall dredging of ports in this period. At the same time, the recent arrival of goods in Tangshan and Tangshan has led to a significant increase in port inventory. In addition, due to the recent floods in the areas along the Yangtze River, some steel mills have increased their overhauling and other measures, resulting in a decline in the opening of ports compared with the previous month, and an increase in the inventory of some ports along the Yangtze River. With the weakening of the impact of rainstorm and flood in the later period, and the opening of port dredging in Tangshan area, the daily dredging of imported mines is expected to rise month-on-month.

3. Baltic dry bulk Index: down 5.77% to 1388 points.

4. The main factors affecting next week are Sino-US relations and whether the demand return period after the flood season is verified.

With regard to the foreseeable future direction of Sino-US relations, the author has made forward-looking deductions, which are all within range so far. The Trump campaign is overwhelming. With the further deterioration of the Trump virus (there is no doubt), the author sees that the world inside him is threatening China and even war, but the probability of passing the United States is zero. As for the impact of Sino-US trade, the author once said that the dead dog is not afraid of boiling water, steel trade is already limited, why worry about reconvergence, the overall impact on steel exports is very limited! After today's emotional release, we will eventually return to the domestic level of strong expectations and weak realization of the game. At the end of the late flood season, the author is certain that the demand will return to the end of the flood season, and the weak realization of normal maintenance for a month is a high probability event, and inventory is the biggest resistance to suppressing the rebound of steel prices! Similarly, scrap steel, iron ore and coke are the biggest resistance to prevent steel prices from falling back, that is, cost support. The transformation of weak implementation into strong implementation is a time positive correlation function. In short, the point of view remained unchanged in July, and there are many battles on the road to rebound.

In terms of iron ore, in order to prevent the threat of war between the United States and the United States, it is necessary for a great country to make full ideological preparation strategically, and it is even more indispensable to attach importance to military exercises tactically. The quotation of Chairman Mao, the great leader, punched open with one blow to avoid a hundred punches. It is an out-of-body statement to believe that the leadership of the country is wise enough. For iron ore, is the military exercise blocking transportation?! The benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom! Wait and see! In short, the author really can not find the real driving force of the decline in iron ore!
