[Domestic Iron Ore Brief: Tangshan Region Iron Ore Concentrate Prices May Have Some Upside Potential] Iron ore concentrate prices in the Tangshan region were relatively stable, with the ex-factory price for 66% grade iron ore concentrates on a dry basis, including tax, ranging from 1,015 to 1,020 yuan/mt. As some mines and beneficiation plants approached year-end, their monthly iron ore concentrate production saw a slight increase. However, the overall tight supply situation for iron ore concentrates did not show significant improvement.

Prices for iron ore concentrates in the Tangshan region remained relatively stable, with 66% grade iron ore concentrates quoted at ex-factory prices of 1,015-1,020 yuan/mt on a dry basis, including tax. As some mines and beneficiation plants approached year-end, monthly production of iron ore concentrates saw a slight increase, but the overall tight supply situation for iron ore concentrates did not improve significantly, and supply remained relatively tight. On the demand side, local steel mills continued to face significant profit pressure, and their purchases of iron ore concentrates were mainly based on purchasing as needed. Overall market transactions remained relatively sluggish. Considering the recent strong performance in iron ore futures, which may drive local market sentiment, there is some potential for local iron ore concentrate prices to rise. [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.
