The transaction activity in the domestic ore market in western Liaoning remained sluggish. The current ex-factory price for Fe66% iron ore concentrates on a wet basis, excluding tax, is 750-760 yuan/mt. Resources at mines and beneficiation plants remain relatively tight, and with no financial pressure, the willingness to hold prices firm is relatively strong. Buyer sentiment is noticeably cautious, with some traders, considering the absence of steel mill contracts to execute, mainly making inquiries to drive down prices while waiting for resources at suitable prices. Steel mills are also primarily purchasing as needed. Overall market transactions are relatively sluggish, and the market remains in a situation of weak supply and demand in the short term. Overall, it is expected that local iron ore concentrate prices may fluctuate in the short term. [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.
