According to the SMM import iron ore cost and profit table, the profit of imported ore remains stable. Except for PB powder and card powder, which have slight losses due to high premiums and low spot prices, other varieties maintain a certain profit. At present, the price of iron ore is supported by macro-positive and high iron water to reach the highest level this year, but the fundamentals of supply and demand are weak, which weakens the support for the price in the later period; in addition, the valuation is high, the regulatory risk is increased, and the market operation is more cautious. Considering the macro-positive expectations in the later period, it is expected that the ore price will continue to fluctuate at a high level in the short term, and the profit of imported ore is still acceptable.
