compared with most of 2016, the performance of close linkage between steel price and period price is slightly different. after entering 2017, the sensitivity and linkage of domestic steel price to period market are becoming weak. although it is said that the futures market was once again rioted by the news that the national development and reform commission removed the strip steel in half a year yesterday and the notice on the immediate suspension and rectification of the registered steel smelting projects with the capacity replacement ratio less than 1:1.25, the spot market seems to have another sign of rising violence, but the overall market sentiment has not been fully driven, the overall performance of the circulation link is relatively unsatisfactory, which makes the overall pull-up of various varieties relatively weak. today, the price of screw steel, high-speed wire and hot-rolled coil has increased moderately. the overall price of cold-rolled coil and medium and heavy plate is relatively average. some leading regions still have the operation of taking advantage of the opportunity to ship goods, which has restrained the price increase. in the spot market, whether from the psychological operation of merchants, the actual performance of shipment volume, or the relatively high inventory pressure, it is difficult to be driven by external forces and continue to rise. the network has made statistics in the early stage. at present, the inventory of screw steel has increased by more than 30% compared with the same period last year. the total inventory of the hot and middle system leading areas of plate products is also at a relatively high level in recent years, which has become a psychological pressure that the market is difficult to cross. after baosteel's plate futures price in february was flat, in addition to the rising price of silicon steel, other prices such as cold, hot rolling, galvanizing and pickling were mainly flat in the price policy of wuhan iron and steel co., ltd., which ended the rising tone for five consecutive months, showing the steel plant's relatively cautious attitude towards the market in february.
in addition, pay attention to the recent winter storage policies. at present, the winter storage policies of various steel enterprises are being introduced in succession. from the content of some policies that have been issued, the maintenance accounts for a part, and this part of the time cycle is arranged around february 7-10, that is, before the lantern festival. for those who prefer to lock up the goods with capital, they will be given preferential policies in terms of interest and order. the other is to simply make money to order futures, and the steel mills adhere to the operation of "not rising in case of rising, but falling in case of falling", and there is no limit on the time of delivery. generally speaking, there is not much difference between the operation and that of the previous years. priority should be given to ensuring that funds are in place. however, with the support of favorable macro policies and sharp rise in the futures market, the steel companies' receiving situation has increased, which may ease the pressure on their stock up during the spring festival and help to reduce the downward space of spot prices. therefore, according to this idea, in the later stage, steel prices are mainly in shock consolidation. in the case of external favorable stimulation and fruitless market response, some agents or forced by inventory pressure continue to appear low out phenomenon, but the release of order pressure of steel enterprises slows down the downward space of prices. before and after the spring festival, the steel market may be dominated by shocks, and some may continue to be lowered.
