Comments
The steel sector led the gains. With the end of the holiday and the warmer weather, under the current background of steady growth, the central government has set the tone to appropriately carry out infrastructure investment in advance, many policies are expected to begin to be fulfilled, and the demand for steel after the festival is expected to be released in advance. At the important time point of continuous development of infrastructure construction, the prices of key raw materials such as iron ore are kept within a reasonable range under policy regulation, superimposed with the current cost support, supply inhibition and demand release are imminent, and the steel fundamentals are about to recover. The production elasticity and profit margin of iron and steel enterprises deserve attention.

Rare earth themes led the increase. With the Ministry of industry and information technology recently released the first batch of total control indicators for rare earth mining, smelting and separation in 2022, China’s rare earth supply elasticity is decreasing, and the supply pattern is gradually becoming orderly, highly centralized and the global supply is gradually stabilizing. In terms of demand, under the background of global low-carbon and electrification, new energy vehicles, energy efficiency improvement of industrial motors, wind power, Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) have replaced the past consumer electronics and become the main driving factor of the demand for rare earth permanent magnets, and the magnitude of demand has increased greatly. At present, restricted by resource conditions, the increase of rare earth supply mainly comes from light rare earth, China Northern Rare Earth (Group) High-Tech Co.Ltd(600111) will continue to fully benefit from the simultaneous rise of volume and price in the industry. Under the background of the accelerated expansion of the demand for rare earth magnetic materials, the leaders of high-performance magnetic materials enterprises are relying on high-tech barriers to enhance the bargaining power of the downstream, and the moat is gradually deepening. With the formation of more centralized and orderly supply management in the future, rare earth prices are expected to continue to rise, and the growth attribute of rare earth sector exceeds the cyclical attribute.
