In the short term, pay attention to the pressure rhythm near the front height of sanitary seamless pipe and the policy risk of iron ore

Sanitary seamless pipe spot transaction

Today, the market price of sanitary seamless pipe is stable and moderate. The mentality of merchants is mainly cautious and wait-and-see. The two sessions are approaching, and the macro expectations are still supported. Although the market has been reduced recently, the medium-term direction is still too much. For tiden, the demand for sanitary seamless pipe is still the core factor of price rise and fall, and needs to continue to pay attention to the recovery of demand.

Inventory rose, and there was a small accumulation of stocks in various regions

In the case of poor profits in the steel plant, it still maintains the production based on sales and low warehouse circulation mode. In this case, it is difficult to recover the production of sanitary seamless pipes. The demand for raw materials is basically replenished according to demand, while the demand continues to improve. However, the overall situation is still lower than expected. The decline of double warehouses is basically based on the delivery of goods. Coal accidents may lead to safety inspections to inhibit the production, but the supply of coal coke is looser than that of iron ore, Derfor, the actual impact is still limited and emotional. In the short term, we still pay attention to the pressure rhythm near the front height of sanitary seamless pipe and the policy risk of iron ore.

Crude oil system: Although the prospect of Russia’s export reduction has supported the oil price, the increase of US inventories and concerns about global economic activities have put pressure on the oil price. However, OPEC has the expectation of reducing production to defend the oil price in the future. Currently, the support range of US crude oil is still the main observation point, and the bottom support of domestic crude oil system is explored step by step.

Black series: The environmental protection policy of heavy pollution weather has been launched in many places in Hebei, and many steel mills have received the notice of stopping and limiting production, and the increase of coke enterprises has gradually fallen to ground. Under the background of further erosion of steel mills’ profits, the output is expected to further narrow, and the sanitary seamless pipe market may face certain speculation. In the short term, it is still necessary to pay attention to the terminal demand. In the future, there is a situation of further improvement of demand expectations. For tiden, pay attention to the risk of shock, and in the future, pay attention to the disk support.

Coal and coke: with the improvement of the market sentiment of sanitary seamless pipes, the coke enterprises’ shipments are relatively smooth, and the inventory has decreased significantly. On the whole, the inventory pressure is low. The coking coal price at the raw material end rose, and the coke cost support strengthened. Downstream steel plants are operating at a high and stable rate, which has some support for the demand for coke. It is expected that the coke market will operate at a moderate and strong level in the short term.

Futures weaken in shock, and today’s rise is short-lived

The strong opening of sanitary seamless pipes in the early trading showed strong motivation and willingness to go long.

Expected price trend of sanitary seamless pipe in March

First of all, the inventory of sanitary seamless pipes is generally in a state of slow de-stocking. In the case of low profits, the steel plant lacks the power to increase production. Even if the consumption intensity of the market is lower, it will slowly enter the state of market specification shortage. At that time, the market speculation will start a new round of shock and rise, and the range will be ignored, but the market confidence of sanitary seamless pipe will be boosted.

Next is the expectation of the sanitary seamless pipe market. “Gold, Silver and Four” are all familiar to everyone.
