[Domestic Iron Ore Brief: Iron Ore Concentrate Prices in Tangshan May Edge Up] The domestic iron ore market in Tangshan remained generally stable, with ex-factory prices for 66% grade iron ore concentrates on a dry basis, including tax, ranging from 1,005 to 1,010 yuan per metric ton. Some producers showed improved purchasing enthusiasm, and large mines saw better tender results. However, market transactions remained relatively weak, with no significant increase in inquiries from producers. The tight supply situation for low-grade resources is expected to become more pronounced.

The Tangshan domestic ore market remained generally stable, with ex-factory prices for 66% grade iron ore concentrates on a dry basis including tax at 1,005-1,010 yuan/mt. Purchasing enthusiasm among some producers improved, and bidding transactions at large mines showed signs of recovery. However, market trading remained relatively weak, with no significant increase in inquiries from producers. The tight supply of low-grade resources is expected to become more pronounced, and overall processing volumes at beneficiation plants are constrained. On the steel mill side, most are maintaining normal production as planned, with hot metal output remaining at relatively high levels, providing support for overall demand. In the short term, the fundamentals for iron ore are moderate, and local iron ore concentrate prices are expected to have some room for further increases. [SMM Steel]

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.
