I Background
China unswervingly
carries out de-capacity work this year, strives to control air pollution
and made great efforts to make our sky blue again. With this background,
coke supply is tight overall and coke price in major markets has reached
a new high of recent 10 years.
It is the same with
steel industry, steel price rebounded sharply recently. Since the
supply-side structural reform from 2016, steel industry has improved
significantly by addressing overcapacity and clearing out substandard
steel. The utilization
rate of the whole industry has been significantly improved, as well as
the relationship between supply and demand.
This year,
environmental protection supervision and production limitation are very
strict nationwide, which have a big impact on the steel supply. The
production restriction on blast furnaces pushed steelmakers to use more
scrap due to hot metal production reduction. What’s more, market rumor
disclosed that 2018 winter season production cuts in steel industry will
start from 1 September, which will add the supply/demand conflict and
price spike possibility.
Also, the country
will release policies to encourage the development of EAF enterprises,
with the aim of reducing air pollution.
Based on these
above, SteelHome website will organize a survey tour to North China,
which aims to help participants better
understand the policy implementation in steel and coke industry.
