Investment suggestion: the national development and Reform Commission issued the notice on printing and Distributing Several Policies to promote the steady growth of industrial economy. The steady growth policy is expected to be strengthened and the steel consumption is gradually started. On the supply side, the guiding opinions on promoting the high-quality development of the iron and steel industry once again reiterated the restriction of iron and steel production capacity. During the "Winter Olympics", the production restriction in the North continued, and the release of steel output was limited. In terms of inventory, the social inventory of steel and the inventory level of steel mills before the Spring Festival are far lower than that in the same period of the lunar calendar last year. The total social inventory of steel in the second week after the festival is + 1335300 tons on a weekly basis, but the total inventory of steel mills is - 230700 tons on a weekly basis. On the raw material side, the iron ore port inventory is still at a high level. With the tightening of supervision, the price has dropped significantly. On the whole, after the festival, steel consumption started or supported steel prices, while the iron ore at the raw material end fell sharply, and the profits of steel mills gradually rebounded.
