Outlook - Supply: Last week, the shipments from Australia and Brazil increased significantly, and the arrival volume also increased. As the end of the year approaches, overseas mines are ramping up shipments, and subsequent shipment volumes may increase [10]. - Demand: The total output of the five major steel products decreased again this week, but the decline narrowed. The main reduction came from hot - rolled steel. The daily average pig iron output has declined for 4 consecutive weeks and has now fallen below 2.3 million tons [10]. - Inventory: Currently, steel mills are replenishing inventory as needed. The inventory available days increased by 1 day to 20 days compared with last week. Port inventory continued to accumulate, reaching 154 million tons, a new high since April 2022. It is expected that port inventory will continue to accumulate slightly [11]. - Overall: There is an expectation of increased supply, and weak demand continues. The iron ore fundamentals still face pressure. However, affected by the news of coking coal, the sentiment of the black - metal sector has been boosted as a whole, and the iron ore price has temporarily received support. Observe the pressure around 780 [11].
