The rise in steel prices caused by environmental problems is also in response to the call of the country, because there is a general trend of environmental protection all over the world. In this case, our country's policy is to have both Jinshan Yinshan and green mountains and green hills. In the process of iron and steel smelting, there will be a lot of smoke and dust that pollutes the air, and related wastewater discharge. Then the state will definitely require relevant enterprises to pay some environmental management fees. In this case, the cost of related enterprises will rise, so the price just now will continue to rise, and there are other reasons.
With the increase of cost, many small steel companies have been eliminated because of the requirement of environmental protection. At present, some large iron and steel groups are in good operating condition, and the operating cost of the iron and steel industry is relatively high in recent years. The wages of employees affected by the epidemic, coupled with the rising cost of steelmaking, also led to the price increase just now. In addition, there is an imbalance in supply. Before the epidemic did not appear, some steel products could be imported from abroad. Now that the epidemic has broken out, there is no way to import some products from abroad, so we can only rely on domestic production, and then there will be a shortage of supply, which is also an important reason for the rise in steel prices.
At present, the situation faced by the steel market is also complicated and changeable, and then the current price continues to rise, also because the demand is relatively strong, I believe that the price will tend to be stable in the near future.
