SMM import profit, import ore profit continues to recover; recent changes in the fundamentals of iron ore are not significant. However, there is continuous macroeconomic news, with the State Council requiring stronger measures to stabilize the market, and expectations of policy escalation. The recovery in the financial market has improved the overall sentiment of the black series. In addition, the iron ore price spread is relatively large, with greater price elasticity. Iron ore prices have continued to rise. Today, the governor of the central bank, Pan Gongsheng, stated that the People's Bank of China will lower the reserve requirement ratio by 0.5 percentage points on February 5, providing the market with approximately 1 trillion yuan in long-term liquidity; this policy may once again drive a slight increase in ore prices, with the expectation of a small increase in import ore profits.
