On July 16, the first batch of steel coils from the new energy non-oriented electrical steel sub-plant of the Electrical Steel Department of Baosteel WISCO Co., Ltd. were loaded and shipped out, destined for a manufacturing enterprise in south China, marking the official launch of the plant. The plant was built on the original site of WISCO's No. 2 Steelmaking Plant, which was once one of the core areas of the "1.7-meter" rolling mill project in the 1970s.
The new plant adopts a modern design, with its exterior composed of white environmental protection materials and black dust-proof glass. On one side of the plant, there is an exhibition hall showcasing the plant's area, with the slogan "Building the World's No. 1 Brand of Electrical Steel" displayed in front. Inside the production workshop, over 40 intelligent transport vehicles have replaced traditional cranes, achieving an efficient logistics model where "steel coils do not touch the ground." The commissioning of this plant has become another landmark project in the development of China's steel industry, following the launch of WISCO's No. 1 blast furnace and the "1.7-meter" rolling mill project.

Before the holiday, the black chain is unlikely to see a trend-driven market [SMM Steel Industry Chain Weekly Report].

This week, ferrous metals were in the doldrums, with coking coal and coke staging a mid-week rise. At the beginning of the week, financial markets experienced sharp fluctuations, dragging down sentiment in the ferrous chain and leading to a pullback in futures. Mid-week, Indonesia's cut to coke production quotas drove coking coal and coke futures to lead the gains, though the impact was more pronounced on thermal coal, while coking coal's rise was largely sentiment-driven and short-lived. In the latter part of the week, finished products continued their seasonal inventory buildup, and support from the raw material side weakened, causing the entire ferrous chain to pull back. In the spot market, with the Chinese New Year holiday approaching, purchasing activity slowed down further, with end-users only making limited, as-needed purchases at low prices.
