How do mill margins, output cuts and steel inventories in China feed through to rebar and iron ore prices?
MysteelMargins are still where it starts. In Mysteel's latest weekly survey, only 6.93% of the 247 blast-furnace mills it tracks were profitable, and their daily hot metal output fell another 18,700 tonnes to 2.34 million tonnes 1. Iron ore feels it first: the same mills' imported ore use slipped to 2.86 million tonnes a day while their ore stocks rose to 95.9 million tonnes, about 33.5 days of use 2, so with holiday buying done, portside trading thinned and ore prices stayed on the weak side 3. Losses are also pushing costs down the chain: mills started a first round of coke price cuts, and analysts expect hot metal output to fall further after the October 1-7 holiday 4. Rebar is steadier. Output rose 4.2% to 1.72 million tonnes in the week to September 30, but mill stocks fell for a third week and traders' stocks for a fifth, to 4.15 million tonnes 5. Mysteel's national rebar price edged up to Yuan 3,325/t on September 29, though end-users resisted higher prices as pre-holiday restocking faded 6.
