Group 1: Research Background - Steel mills are showing high production enthusiasm, with pig iron output reaching the highest level for the same period since March before starting to decline, leading to accumulated supply pressure [1] - Hebei, as the largest steel production base in China, accounts for 20%-30% of the national output, primarily in plate products, making its production dynamics significantly influential on the national market [1] - The demand for steel is expected to decline seasonally, but the "export rush" effect has shown strong resilience in steel demand, with export volumes increasing year-on-year [1] Group 2: Production and Output - Most steel mills have adopted an over-ordering strategy, with orders from downstream processing plants typically ranging from 15 to 30 days, and some products scheduled for production until the end of July [2] - Steel mills are currently enjoying decent profits, with immediate profits around 100-200 yuan per ton, and some mills achieving net profits exceeding 100 yuan per ton [2] Group 3: Export Situation - Export profits remain acceptable, with increases in the export volumes of rebar, steel billets, and wire rods, particularly to the Middle East and Africa, while reductions are noted in exports to South Korea and Japan [4] - There is potential for screening orders in steel billet exports, and while some believe that the export rush may deplete future demand, the actual impact may not be as significant as anticipated [4] Group 4: Inventory and Expectations - Inventory levels among steel mills and traders are low, with steel mill inventories dropping from 20,000 tons to 4,000 tons, indicating a need for inventory building based on market fluctuations [6] - Some anticipate that upcoming events such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in July and the World University Games in August may impact short-term supply, while others doubt the effectiveness of policy-driven production restrictions due to local GDP pressures [6] Group 5: Seasonal Demand Outlook - The negative feedback from the industrial sector in June may be difficult to realize, as steel mills are currently profitable and production is stable, making significant production cuts unlikely [7] - The resilience of plate demand is a key variable influencing the overall demand for steel during the off-season, with expectations that plate demand may outperform market predictions [7] Group 6: Specific Situations in Steel Mills and Processing Plants - A hot-rolled processing enterprise reported a production capacity of 4 million tons, with a focus on color-coated products, and is experiencing high demand, with orders extending to the end of July [9] - A steel mill's trading department noted that orders for various steel products are generally over 25 days, with net profits ranging from 50 to 100 yuan per ton, and a positive outlook on the market despite regional pressures [10] - A cold-rolled sales department indicated that exports are primarily directed towards Southeast Asia and the Middle East, with a notable increase in orders, although the overall export volume is slightly weaker compared to previous months [11] Group 7: Market Dynamics and Price Trends - The current market is characterized by strong realities and weak expectations, with healthy inventory levels and order volumes, suggesting that the anticipated negative feedback may not materialize [8] - The steel price may experience fluctuations, with potential upward movement if the current strong reality persists, despite the overall market sentiment being cautious [12]
