Specific performance: First, the downstream steel market pick up, spot steel prices continued to grow, production will increase, driving up the demand for iron ore upstream. Second, the high quality ore supply is highly dependent on imports. Thirdly, due to the continuous rise of coke prices and the policy of limiting environmental protection, the fourth is the large stock of medium and low grade ore in domestic iron ore stocks and the structural shortage of high grade ore.

The demand for replenishment is an important force in boosting iron ore prices in the previous period. First of all, the macroeconomic data show that the domestic economy has stabilized and the investment demand for raw materials continues to increase, boosting the prices of industrial products. Second, partial substitution of blast furnace capacity for electric furnace capacity has led to an increase in demand for high grade iron ore. Finally, the price of iron ore is not high from historical absolute value. Given the insufficient supply of domestic ore and the increase in bargaining power of foreign ore, the price center of iron ore keeps moving up.

In the second half of 2016, the capacity-to-capacity of the stainless steel industry accelerated somewhat. However, the Company continued to eliminate its long-term capacity shutdown with little impact on its effective capacity and output.
