Ministry of Commerce: Actively guarantee Commodity domestic supply
Deputy Minister of Commerce Ren Hongbin html said at a press conference of the State Information Office on the 230th that my country's foreign trade scale will reach a new level in 2021, and it is expected to reach 6 trillion US dollars for the whole year. Compared with 2020, the increase is expected to reach 1.3 trillion US dollars, which is the sum of the increase in the past 10 years, achieving the goal of stable quantity and quality improvement. In the future, we will continue to do a good job in importing commodities, actively ensure the domestic supply of commodities, and further improve the convenience level of trade liberalization.
analysts' opinion: Ensuring the supply of commodities from the import and export aspects will accelerate the marketization of prices and avoid price surges and falls caused by hoarding and price gouging. The stable price at the raw material side is conducive to the stable development of the manufacturing industry, gradually expanding demand, driving steel procurement, and benefiting medium- and long-term steel prices.

Short-term steel price forecast:
RCEP will take effect on January 1, 2022. According to the Ministry of Commerce's estimates, this cooperation agreement will accelerate the development of domestic manufacturing industry and slow down the current "demand weakening" situation in China, and demand for steel will also be boosted after the Spring Festival. However, the ex-factory prices of domestic steel mills are still higher than the general market expectations. Considering that the profit margin of steel mills has been narrowing and the amount of steel prices is not large, the short-term prices are still in a stalemate. If steel mill inventory continues to rise, the possibility of steel prices slightly lowered in early January cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the short-term steel price is running weakly.
