基本面承压继续，钢价震荡运行

Group 1: Overall Market Situation - The fundamentals of steel are under continued pressure, and steel prices are fluctuating [1] Group 2: Glass and Soda Ash Market Analysis - Glass futures fluctuated and rose yesterday, while the spot market quotes remained stable, with dull production and sales by manufacturers and a cold trading atmosphere in the spot and futures markets This week, the inventory of float glass manufacturers was 53.216 million heavy boxes, a 0.38% increase from the previous week [2] - Soda ash futures also fluctuated and rose yesterday, with limited rigid demand procurement from downstream. This week, the soda ash inventory was 1.5212 million tons, a 1.49% decrease from the previous week [2] Supply - Demand and Logic - The supply - demand contradiction in the glass market is still significant. Although some production lines have been gradually cold - repaired, the production reduction is still insufficient compared to the decline in rigid demand. With the procurement by spot - futures traders, the inventory pressure is expected to ease, and the market anticipates a peak season after the Spring Festival. Attention should be paid to the progress of glass cold - repair [2] - The supply - demand contradiction in the soda ash market is relatively limited. Some soda ash plants have completed maintenance, and supply has increased. Considering the upcoming new production projects in the future and the expected increase in cold - repair of float glass production lines, it is necessary to suppress the production profit of soda ash enterprises to avoid supply - demand imbalance. In the short term, the speculative demand for soda ash has increased under the influence of macro - sentiment. Attention should be paid to the changes in float glass production lines and the progress of new soda ash production projects [2] Strategy - The glass market is expected to be in a state of fluctuation, while the soda ash market is expected to fluctuate weakly [3] Group 3: Silicon Manganese and Silicon Ferrosilicon Market Analysis - The main contract of silicon manganese opened lower and moved higher yesterday, with trading volume increasing as the market fluctuated at a high level. The cost support for the alloy is acceptable. The price of 6517 silicon manganese in the northern market is 5,570 - 5,680 yuan/ton, and in the southern market is 5,700 - 5,750 yuan/ton [4] - The silicon ferrosilicon futures fluctuated strongly yesterday, and the market adjusted slightly, with strong cautious waiting - and - seeing sentiment. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade natural block silicon ferrosilicon in the main production areas is 5,200 - 5,250 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade silicon ferrosilicon is 5,800 - 5,850 yuan/ton [4] Supply - Demand and Logic - The fundamentals of silicon manganese have improved, but the inventory pressure is still large, and there are new production capacities coming on - stream, so the supply - demand is still relatively loose. There is an expectation of an increase in pig iron production in the future, and combined with the expectation of steel mills' inventory replenishment before the Spring Festival, the demand for silicon manganese is expected to improve. The recent tariff policy changes in South Africa may increase the cost of manganese ore. Attention should be paid to the cost support of manganese ore and production changes [4] - The fundamental contradictions of silicon ferrosilicon are controllable, and enterprises have actively reduced production loads. Considering the resumption of production by steel mills and winter - storage inventory replenishment, the demand for silicon ferrosilicon is expected to improve. The differential electricity price policy implemented in Shaanxi in the second half of the year has affected market sentiment, but considering the expected further decline in domestic electricity prices this year and the overall over - capacity of silicon ferrosilicon, the price increase is limited. Attention should be paid to the inventory reduction of silicon ferrosilicon and the electricity price policies in production areas [4] Strategy - Both the silicon manganese and silicon ferrosilicon markets are expected to be in a state of fluctuation [5]
