Since June 1, 20 17 1, steel prices have been rising all the way in the off-season. As of February 5 1, the steel price was 5230 yuan per ton, a record high in six and a half years, and the steel price index has increased by more than 50% compared with the same period last year. In the same period last year, the price of steel was about 2,800 yuan per ton, and even fell below 2,000 yuan per ton at the lowest.
2. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the daily output of steel in June of 20 17 was 296 1 10,000 tons, which was lower than the level of 3 million tons for the first time, down about 6% compared with the same period of last year. But demand has been rising steadily. This rise in steel prices is the result of staged mismatch between supply and demand in the market.
3. At present, there is no bubble in steel prices, which reflects the real gap between supply and demand.
The state plans to phase out1-1.500 million tons of steel production capacity in 3-5 years. By the end of 10, the task of steel de-capacity has been overfulfilled this year. The supply shortage is not temporary, but will last for a long time, because the cleared capacity cannot be recovered immediately. Even if the demand does not increase significantly, as long as it remains stable, the steel price will be supported.
4. The national steel industry has entered a new profit cycle. Take rebar as an example. At the beginning of this year, the profit per ton of steel was about 150. After a year's fluctuation, the current profit has reached 1.8 million or so.
There should be a price increase of 20 18 for steel bars. Because this year is also a year of more efficient infrastructure in China, like railways, highways, tunnels, bridges, real estate and so on. , are the places where steel bars are used the most.
Precautions:
1. If the production length of steel bars can't meet the design requirements, a lot of steel bars will be wasted. Therefore, when buying steel bars, you must know the parameters such as the model, specification, grade and seismic requirements of the steel bars used to avoid the purchased steel bars not meeting the requirements.
2. The appearance inspection should be carried out before the steel bar is purchased, and the surface should be free of cracks, scars and corrosion. , the color should be dark blue and uniform.
3. Check the signs, signs and quality certificates of steel bars. Steel surface should have brand logo, factory name (or trademark) number and diameter (mm) should be rolled in turn. Steel bars packed in bundles according to standards shall be hung with signs, which shall indicate the name of the enterprise, product name, implementation standard, product brand, specification and batch number. , and indicate the production license number and QS mark. According to the standard, products should also be accompanied by quality certificates.
4. Hold the steel bar by hand. If you feel bony, you should check the diameter and roundness of the new input with calipers. Don't buy it.
