[Domestic Iron Ore Brief Review: Iron Ore Concentrate Prices in the Tangshan Region May Edge Lower] Iron ore concentrate prices in the Tangshan region edged lower, with the current delivery-to-factory price, tax included, for 66% grade iron ore concentrates (dry basis) at 1,010-1,010

[SMM Daily Review of Domestic Iron Ore]
Prices for 66% grade iron ore concentrates (dry basis, tax included, delivery to factory) in the Tangshan area dipped slightly, currently at 1,010-1,015 yuan/mt. Local supplies of iron ore concentrates remain tight; however, prices in surrounding areas continued to decline. Two major steel mills in Qian'an successively lowered their purchase prices, and buyers were also reluctant to purchase. With both supply and demand weak, market activity was muted. Steel mills are currently facing severe profit declines, compounded by environmental protection-driven production restrictions, with some blast furnaces at individual mills being banked, further weakening support for iron ore concentrate demand. Consequently, local iron ore concentrate prices experienced a slight decrease. Looking ahead to next week, considering the current weak trend in imported ore prices, local iron ore concentrate prices are expected to remain in the doldrums. [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.
