从钢铁行业看中国价格复苏近在咫尺 20250627 摘要 明整个链条最脆弱环节已经触底。 Q&A 如何看待中国工业价格的复苏及其背后的供需关系？ 中国工业价格的复苏主要受供需关系变化驱动。过去几年，工业价格持续下行， 约束了供给，导致资本开支周期达到历史底部。部分行业逐渐走出供给过剩状 态，进入再资本开支过程。然而，中国大规模资本开支的可能性较小，因为脱 离债务周期的经济无法支持大规模投资。因此，企业在微观层面表现出谨慎态 度。从中下游制造业来看，其价格企稳和利润改善反映了供给约束带来的积极 影响。上游原材料板块则持续去库存，上游价格跌不动，这表明整个工业链条 正在见底。 钢铁行业在当前经济周期中的表现如何？ 钢铁行业经历了十年的产能收缩，目前已达到供需稳态。尽管建筑需求下降， 但钢铁行业通过减少投资实现了平衡。在经济周期底部时，钢铁价格不再下跌， 而利润却在不断上升。这反映出供给约束带来的利润修复，以及需求回落对钢 铁行业的影响有限。此外，贸易企业普遍持有现金而非库存，这进一步说明社 会库存处于低位。当上游原材料如煤炭和焦煤开始减产且价格跌不动时，这表 如何判断中国工业整体是否已经见底？ 从中下游制造业到上 ...

The mainstream ex - factory price of light soda ash was around 1250 - 1350 yuan/ton, and the mainstream delivered price of heavy soda ash to end - users was about 1300 - 1400 yuan/ton [4]. 3.3 Factors Affecting the Market - **Supply**: Since June, the weekly output of soda ash has remained above 700,000 tons, with significant supply pressure. Although some plants have maintenance plans in the medium - term approaching summer, there are few new maintenance plans in the short term, and the overall supply is at a high level [5]. - **Demand**: The involution in the photovoltaic glass industry has led to production cuts. The price rebound of float glass is based on the expectation of supply tightening. Whether the unplanned cold repairs are realized or not, it is unfavorable for the demand of soda ash. In addition, in the demand for light soda ash, the support from lithium carbonate and daily - use glass is limited, and the substitution ratio of caustic soda is less than 5%, with limited incremental demand. Overall, the demand recovery of downstream industries for soda ash is weak, and procurement is mostly for rigid needs, with a cautious market performance [5]. - **Macro - level**: There are signs of easing in the Middle East geopolitical conflict, and the overnight crude oil futures price has declined. Although the State Council executive meeting has made targeted arrangements for the real estate market recently, the year - on - year growth rate of real estate development investment is still declining without an obvious turning point, and its role in driving the demand for the glass industry downstream of soda ash is not clear [5][6].
