After policy factors such as heating season output limitation exit, industry supply returns to market logic. When the profit is high, the start-up rate of the steel mills increases; when the loss occurs, maintenance or shutdown is arranged. Compared with the same period last year, the iron and steel industry is at a slightly profitable stage, but the steel output is higher. In December, the steel output of key steel enterprises totaled 53.3149 million tons, which was 1.5221 million tons higher than that of the same period last year. In the later stage, if the steel mill is profitable, the steel output will be maintained and the loss will be reduced.
In the process of the transition from tight balance of supply and demand to oversupply, steel prices have fallen and profits have shrunk. At present, steel prices have entered a small range of shocks. In the off-season, steel production remained at a high level to restrain the rise of steel prices, while consumption continued, inventory was low, and winter storage gradually opened to support steel prices. Under the game between the two sides, steel prices continue to oscillate.
