● Oversupply restricts the long-term price of iron ore

        Oversupply has become the most important factor in suppressing iron ore prices. Morgan Stanley this week's report believes that iron ore prices will be supported in the fourth quarter of this year and the first half of next year, but there will be global oversupply in the second half of 2014. Morgan Stanley predicted on Wednesday that the average price of iron ore in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $125/ton, compared with $120/ton in the first quarter of next year, and the average price in 2014 and 2015 was $117/ton and 114 respectively. USD/ton. Citigroup expects iron ore prices to be $115/ton over the next three months as shipping iron ore supply surges. The demand for iron ore from China's economic growth will be the key to determining the future price of iron ore.

        Interpretation: Singing the iron ore market is no longer a new thing. I remember that two years ago, experts and scholars predicted that 2013 will be the turning point of the iron ore market. The oversupply will make the price of minerals fall into the downtrend channel. The fact is that, up to now, the average price of the Platts index in 2013 was 135.2 US dollars / ton, and the average price in 2012 was only 129.9 US dollars / ton, according to the rough iron ore import volume of 735 million tons last year (excluded The high and low price difference factors), the total procurement cost of domestic enterprises increased by about 3.9 billion US dollars. Fubao believes that iron ore prices are no longer a simple decision on supply and demand. No matter how the supply and demand evolve, as long as the Chinese economy does not collapse, its price will always be higher than people expected.

●The steel industry has stepped down to make the rich altar

        According to the data, the overall operation of the steel industry is still difficult this year. Data show that from January to July, China's crude steel output increased by 7.1% year-on-year, compared with 2.1% in the same period last year. The incompatibility between the rapid release of production capacity and the slow growth of demand has led to oversupply in the market and a meager profit situation. From January to July, the industry's average sales profit margin was only 0.23%, and the main business was still on the verge of loss. Judging from this list, the actual controller of the Chuanyang Group, the Gong Chuanyang family, had a wealth of 14.593 billion yuan last year, and this year's wealth has shrunk to 2.809 billion yuan.

        Interpretation: The reasons why the iron and steel industry has gone down to create a rich altar are as follows: First, the downstream demand has shrunk. From the beginning of real estate regulation and control, to the slowdown of domestic economic growth, the release of terminal demand has also slowed down; Continued surplus, crude steel output hit new highs; Third, bank funds tightened, with the steel crisis erupted in the credit crisis, steel companies operating at high debt ratios are bound to face some pressure on the bank; the fourth point is the people The price of the "biggest culprit" has risen.

● Large credit card collective overdue Ningde steel traders are trapped in debt vortex

        Since 2013, in addition to bank loans, steel traders have added another pressure: a large number of credit cards are overdue.

Some insiders believe that the large-scale credit card overdue for steel traders is behind the deep background of credit funds, and the bank's sudden and comprehensive collection of loans is the direct trigger for systemic risks of steel trade credit.

● Shenhua and other coal giants will raise prices and coal prices will rebound

The thermal coal below 5,000 kcal in the coastal area was raised by 3 yuan to 5 yuan per ton, and the North China area was raised by 5 yuan to 10 yuan. In addition, several coal companies such as China Coal Group, which are launched in the northern port, have also raised prices simultaneously. In response to the phenomenon that coal giants have raised coal prices, the industry believes that there are three main reasons: First, since September, hydropower generation has fallen sharply, and thermal power plants have increased their power generation. Second, due to the continuous decline in coal prices in the previous period, The power plant concentrated on its own site inventory, causing the inventory to fall to the low point of the year. At present, the winter storage coal began to start in full; the third is the increase in sea freight, increasing the cost of imported coal to the shore, and the import of thermal coal continues to decrease.
