It is learned that, recently, in order to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, environmental protection inspection has been further strengthened in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region so that many steel mills are mandatory to limit production and all rolled steel enterprises limit or stop production. Cold rolled strip steel has been affected. Production of the raw material has reduced. Fortunately, the steel mills have large amount of inventory, the situation of short supply of raw materials is not very serious. However, it still has some impact. On the other hand, affected by environmental protection and seasonal factors, the cored wire manufacturers’ demand for cold rolled strip steel has reduced. For this reason, slight price oscillation is frequent. It dropped by 30 yuan per ton the day on this Monday, while rose by 20 yuan per ton on this Wednesday and is changeable. Now, cold rolled strip steel Q195 0.35*55 is 4,680-4,700 yuan per ton, Q195 0.4 *55 and Q195 0.45 *55 is 4,630-4,650 yuan per ton, SPCC0.35-0.39*55 is 4,730-4,750 yuan per ton, SPCC 0.4 *55 and SPCC 0.45 *55 is 4,680-4,700 yuan per ton. The insiders estimated that frequent ups and downs of cold rolled strip steel were likely to continue to after the National Day.
Now, cored wire market is still in a slack season in which the demand for various cored wire products generally decreased. The prices of silicon calcium cored wire and solid pure calcium cored wire have reduced; the demand for nodularizer cored wire has been poor for a long time; the recent downstream demand for seamless metal calcium cored wire is stable and the manufacturers are normal in order receiving. Recently, the price of metal calcium wire, the raw material has dropped. For this reason, the price of seamless metal calcium cored wire remains stable.
The prices of cored wire products still keep stable as a whole with no obvious fluctuation. Market transaction statistics shows that, now, silicon calcium cored wire Ca28Si55∮13mm is 10,000-11,000 yuan per ton and Ca30Si58∮13mm is 11,200-12,000 yuan per ton. Solid pure calcium cored wire Ca98%min∮9mm is 10,000 - 10,500 yuan per ton. Ferro calcium cored wire Ca30∮13mm is 8,300-8,800 yuan per ton and Ca30∮30mm is 10,000 to 10,500 yuan per ton. Silicon magnesium cored wire Si40Mg28Re2∮13mm is 11,500-12,500 yuan per ton. Ferrotitanium cored wire Ti30%min∮13mm is 11,500-11,800 yuan per ton. Seamless metal calcium cored wire Ca98%min∮9mm is still 10,200-11,200 and Ca98%min∮10mm is 15,200-16,200 yuan per ton. Carbon cored wire C98%∮13mm is still 7,000-7,500 yuan per ton. Nodularizer cored wire is 10,000-10,300 yuan per ton.
Ferroboron FeB19C0.1 is 20,000-22,000 yuan per ton, FeB18C0.5 is 18,000-18,200 yuan per ton, FeB17C0.5 is 17,500-17,800 yuan per ton and FeB16C0.5 is 16,500-17,000 yuan per ton. Silicon calcium alloy Ca28Si55 is 11,300-11,500 yuan per ton, Ca28Si60 is 10,600-10,800 yuan per ton, Ca30Si55 is 11,500-11,700 yuan per ton and Ca30Si60 is 10,800-11,000 yuan per ton. Silicon calcium 5828 (brand NO.: Ca28, size: 0-3mm) rose to 9,100-9,300 yuan per ton, 5028 (brand No.: Ca30, size: 0-3mm) is 8,400-8,600 yuan per ton, Ca1 (brand No.: Ca 30, natural block) is 11,000- 11,200 yuan per ton, Ca2 (brand No.: Ca30, natural block) is 10,800-11,000 yuan per ton, Ca28Si55 is 11,300-11,500 yuan per ton, Ca28Si60 is 10,600-10,800 yuan per ton, Ca30Si55 is 11,500-11,700 yuan per ton and Ca30Si60 is 10,800-11,000 yuan per ton. Metal calcium wire is 18,800-19,800 yuan per ton. Metal crude calcium is 15,200-15,400 yuan per ton.
The export transaction price of calcium silicon cored wire ca30si60∮13mm is 1,550 to 1,630 US dollars per ton. Calcium silicon cored wire ca28si55∮13mm is 1,530 to 1,600 US dollars per ton. Bite type solid core pure calcium core wire ca98%min∮9mm is 1,670 to 1,750 US dollars per ton. Pure calcium cored wire (Ca30 ∮13mm) is 1,350 to 1,400 US dollars per ton. There is no adjustment comparing with the last month (FOB price, Tianjin Port).
Now, the price of cold rolled strip steel fluctuates frequently and will not be stabilized for a while. Insiders estimated that such situation will last for a while. Reduction of the overall demand of cored wire market will impact on demand for cold rolled strip steel.
