According to SMM's imported ore cost-profit table, the profits of imported ores have dropped significantly; According to SMM statistics, the impact of iron water caused by blast furnace maintenance this week (July 27th to August 2nd) amounted to 1.0991 million tons, an increase of 72,400 tons from last week. The current iron water is showing a downward trend, weakening the demand support for iron powder, and the losses of steel plants have intensified. Some steel plants have successively increased their blast furnace maintenance plans. It is expected that short-term iron ore prices may mainly fluctuate weakly, and the profits of imported ores may continue to operate weakly.
