In terms of apparent consumption, it is estimated that the apparent consumption of rebar this week is 3.3324 million tons, an increase of 777100 tons on a weekly basis, and the daily average transaction volume of construction steel this week is 178400 tons, an increase of 2.14% on a weekly basis.
Investment suggestion: the two sessions of the National People’s Congress put forward the goal of China’s GDP growth of about 5.5% in 2022. It is expected that the follow-up steady growth policy will continue to support the demand for steel. In the short term, the downstream began to resume production in an orderly manner, and the steel consumption intensity gradually increased. It is estimated that the apparent consumption of rebar this week is 3.3324 million tons, with a weekly increase of 777100 tons. On the supply side, under the background of “double carbon”, the release of steel output is limited. On Friday, the output of large steel varieties decreased by 205700 tons on a weekly basis. In terms of inventory, the inflection point of social inventory appeared, and the social inventory fell 269900 tons month on month this week. On the whole, the steady growth policy is gradually promoted, the peak consumption season is superimposed, the steel demand intensity continues to rise, the inflection point of steel inventory appears, and the focus of steel price is expected to rise. Suggestions: 1) ordinary steel sector: Baoshan Iron & Steel Co.Ltd(600019) , Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Union Co.Ltd(600010) , Hunan Valin Steel Co.Ltd(000932) ; 2) , , ; 3) Target of Superalloy: Fushun Special Steel Co.Ltd(600399) ; 4) Target of graphite electrode: Fangda Carbon New Material Co.Ltd(600516) ; 5) Pipe object: Tianjin You Fa Steel Pipe Group Stock Co.Ltd(601686) , Zhejiang Kingland Pipeline And Technologies Co.Ltd(002443) , Xinxing Ductile Iron Pipes Co.Ltd(000778) .
Risk tip: the demand for real estate steel has fallen precipitously; Steel prices fell sharply; The price of raw materials fluctuates greatly
