The focus of market analysis needs to shift from the supply side to the demand side
Before the keynote speech session, Mr. Lin Qingbin, Manager of Information Technology Department of Lecong Steel World, delivered a speech. He said, "The domestic economy has entered the stage of fierce competition with the outside world from the original stage of stable growth, and at the same time the stage of development while competing." Past data and experience play a less and less useful role, and the focus of analysis of the steel market needs to shift from the supply side to the demand side."

The new three phases of superposition and the global currency flow and steel trade prospects under the Sino-US game
In the second half of the conference, Professor Liu Jinshan brought a special speech on "Global Currency Flow and Steel Trade Prospects under the New Phase III Superposition and Sino-US Game" to the guests, and gave an in-depth and simple explanation of the challenges and opportunities faced by the steel industry by analyzing the epidemic economy, the Sino-US economy, and the steel market.
In view of the above questions, some of Professor Liu's views are listed:
He pointed out that in the fourth quarter of this year, China is estimated to increase about 6-8 trillion yuan of broad money, and about 240 trillion yuan at the end of December. Look at the policy in the short term, and look at the funds in the long run. The rising tide of money is the end of the era of low resource and energy prices. The prices of commodities such as energy and raw materials will fluctuate violently.
▲Professor Liu Jinshan's analysis of the "Water Theme of Heavenly Currency"
He believes that the rise in world commodity prices has brought about an increase in coal prices, and the rainfall in the first half of the year is small, resulting in a tight supply of thermal power and hydropower, an increase in demand for electricity when the weather becomes hot, and the "electricity shortage" is once again early and concentrated.
▲Professor Liu Jinshan analyzes the theme of "China's New Phase III"
Professor Liu focused on interpreting the relationship between "carbon peaking, carbon neutrality and steel industry chain" at the live market conference in March this year, and the follow-up crude steel production reduction policy also confirmed the views of experts. Next, the School of E-commerce will continue to invite industry leaders, directly hit the pain points of the industry, talk about the steel market, and look forward to your attention and participation!
