铁矿石：宏观预期回暖，短期偏强运行

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core View of the Report - International macro uncertainty weakens and risk preference rises. Short - term domestic macro expectations strengthen, the market may focus on strong reality. With weakened foreign ore shipments, high short - term arrivals leading to inventory accumulation, and relatively high demand, the overall inventory accumulation pressure is weak. It is expected that the short - term iron ore futures price will fluctuate strongly in a range. Later, attention should be paid to whether hot metal production rebounds beyond expectations and policy increments from the Politburo meeting [3] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Supply - June is the peak season for foreign ore shipments. After the fiscal year volume - boosting of Australian BHP and FMG mines in June, they will enter the maintenance period in early July, and overall foreign ore shipments will enter a phased decline cycle. However, due to the significant increase in shipments since late May, the arrival volume is expected to remain high in the short term, meaning near - end supply pressure remains, while the expected increase pressure in the far - month eases, which is conducive to a far - month rebound [3] Demand - China's daily average hot metal output has rebounded slightly for two consecutive weeks, showing strong demand for iron ore and boosting the valuation level of the futures market. The current daily average hot metal output is 242.29 (month - on - month + 0.11). With a high profitability rate of steel mills, considerable blast furnace profits, comprehensive deep losses in the short - process steelmaking, and a significant increase in the iron - scrap price difference, it is expected that the short - term demand for iron ore will remain strong, and high demand will support the price [3] Inventory - The inventory of imported ore at steel mills has declined month - on - month, and the low - inventory management model continues. Daily consumption has increased due to the resumption of production of some steel mills in the Northeast. As the month - on - month increase in arrival volume is greater than that in the port clearance volume, port inventory has increased slightly this period. It is expected that inventory will gradually accumulate slightly, but due to high demand, the inventory accumulation pressure is weak [3] Price - The price will fluctuate strongly in a range. The price range of the i2509 contract is from 710 yuan/ton to 740 yuan/ton, and the price range of the foreign FE08 contract is from 93 to 97 US dollars/ton [3]
