The high chromium market supply source tension support will continue to be strong.

Yesterday, the purchase price of high carbon chromium iron in qingshan group in January 2018 was settled at 7296 yuan /50 basis tons, up 200 yuan /50 basis tons from last month. In 2016, qingshan group achieved 5.8 million tons of stainless steel crude steel production, sales revenue of 102.8 billion, and more than 30,000 employees. "Qingshan" trademark is a well-known trademark in China, so it can be used for reference in the industry of qingshan group's high chromium purchase price.

Relative to the high carbon ferrochrome purchasing price of mainstream steel plant to finalize the current high chromium market price is slightly higher, since December, high chromium mainstream price average price from 7100 yuan/base 50 tons of all the way up to the current 7700 yuan/tons. As a whole, the purchasing price of large steel enterprises is on the rise.

In this case, the following is analyzed as follows:

1, from the point of origin chrome mine, chrome ore businesses had no intention of shipment, sharply raising chrome ore offer, but in terms of from chrome ore buyers, factory for its own sake, is unwilling to accept chrome ore prices rose, so resulting in a decrease of port stocks trade, caused the situation of "content with rare for expensive".

2, high chromium market prices, mainly is the trend of the cost of support, it is understood that the domestic ports in South Africa compared to the end of last month by mainstream chrome ore prices 4 to 5 yuan/ton, price of South Africa 40-42% concentrate to 37 yuan/ton.

Since December, the stock of high-chromium stocks has been effectively consumed, and even a zero inventory has appeared in the factory recently. With the centralized purchasing of the large domestic steel mills, the delivery date of qingshan group is from January 10th to February 20th. The purchase quantity of foxin steel is 3000 tons, and the delivery date is before January 26th. The time is concentrated before the Spring Festival, so the high chromium market is tight, and the price increase will help to increase the price.

4. Domestic environmental protection, power limit, cost and other factors have reduced the factory opening rate.

To sum up, the recent high chromium market under the premise of supply shortage, market support will continue to be strong.
