[SMM Daily Review] Black heavy-hit iron ore fell by more than 5%, hot roll fell by more than 2%, non-ferrous metal, green manure, red and thin crude oil rose by more than 3%.

SMM9 March 16: today's domestic metal market green manure red thin, by the end of the day, Shanghai nickel fell 1.17%, Shanghai copper fell 0.82%, Shanghai lead fell 0.76%, Shanghai tin fell 0.03%, Shanghai aluminum rose 0.31%, Shanghai zinc rose 0.6%. Among them, nickel, the afternoon continuous diving decline of nearly 2%, and then recovered, SMM believes that the fundamental focus of nickel prices is still inclined to the nickel ore-nickel iron-stainless steel industry line. The price of nickel ore has risen all the way under the condition of considerable shortage of supply. The high price of Ferro nickel has been supported by both raw material support and tight supply. The mentality of high production in stainless steel plants has not been significantly reduced for the time being. This production line still has a strong support for nickel price. However, the fluctuation of macro factors has obviously disturbed the price of nickel in the short term. Today, the price of nickel seems to have fallen sharply due to the influence of capital sentiment in the afternoon. However, the US dollar index fell rapidly after the close of trading in Shanghai, and Lunni immediately went back to intraday highs, followed the Fed's interest rate resolution in the evening, and is expected to maintain loose liquidity. Short-term Shanghai Nickel may continue to fluctuate at 117000-120000 yuan / ton and Lunni 15100-15400 US dollars / ton.

In terms of lead, Shanghai lead reported to close the Changyin line, the k line entity wore the 5-day moving average, the KDJ index converged down again, the technical index showed a negative trend again, considering that the price of waste batteries was easy to rise and difficult to fall, and the cost of recycled lead was supported, while the purchasing demand downstream was general, the upward power of Shanghai lead was insufficient, it was expected that Shanghai lead would maintain a volatile market in the short term, and at night, attention should be paid to whether bears would further test the first-line support of 14900 yuan / ton.

In terms of black system, thread fell 1.79%, hot coil fell 2.07%, stainless steel fell 2.35%, coke fell 3.03%, coking coal fell 1.11%, iron ore dropped 5.07%, the risk of "gold, nine and silver ten" peak season is relatively high, if the subsequent demand can not break out, the follow-up price may be mainly a pullback. At present, it is expected that there will be some falsification of demand, coupled with the tightening of urban real estate, and compared with the first half of the year, the north will enter the heating season in mid-late November, the suppression of terminal demand will appear again, and it will be more difficult to go to the warehouse. However, in the short term, steel prices may be dominated by weak shocks. After all, cost support is still in place, cement shipments are rising, digging machine sales hit a new high in the same period, and fundamentals still have support. In the future, we will focus on the change of production and whether the inventory can decline effectively.
