For the black system, the thread rose 1.72%, the iron ore rose 1.88%, and the hot coil rose 2.06%. Judging from the logic of rebar supply and demand, the standing Committee of the State Council has held successive meetings to prevent and control commodity prices from rising too rapidly. Under the background of policy focus on price protection and stable supply, the probability of formal landing of the production reduction policy in the short term is small, but the news related to the Cardafeng meeting will be frequent. Recently, with the gradual stabilization and rebound of steel prices on the supply side, steel enterprises with long and short processes still maintain a certain profit margin, and June belongs to the traditional peak production season of steel enterprises, so the overall output in June is more likely to maintain a high level of operation, with a month-on-month increase or a small increase compared with May.
Crude oil rose 1.66% in the previous period. Oil prices rose for the third day in a row on Thursday as fuel demand is expected to surge later this year, particularly in the United States, Europe and China, while major oil producers are maintaining supply discipline. Brent crude futures rose 37 cents, or 0.52 percent, to $71.72 a barrel, earlier hitting the highest level since September 2019. The consensus among market forecasters, including OPEC and its ally (OPEC), is that oil demand will outstrip supply in the second half of 2021, fuelling recent price increases. The supply and demand pattern is loose in stages, and the steel price may fluctuate the width.
In terms of precious metals, Shanghai gold fell 1.45% and Shanghai silver fell 0.93%. Precious metals closed lower as the US economy continued to recover and Fed officials mentioned again that the QE, dollar was stabilizing and gold and silver were under pressure. The current market focus is on the May non-farm report of the United States, which is released on Friday. If the US May non-farm report released on Friday is optimistic, it is expected to continue to boost the dollar, possibly further limiting the rise of gold and silver.
