It is learned that, in this week, a haze area attacked, which covers a large area and lasts a long time. North China, the Yellow and Huai River areas, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are covered by haze in varying degrees. So far, it has not dispersed and the air quality is still poor. For this reason, environmental protection supervision sectors in various areas have strengthened control. Many steel mills, cored wire and raw material manufacturers have to limit or stop production. Weather sectors estimated that the haze will still continue for several days.

The price of cold rolled strip steel, the raw material of cored wire fell back after continuous rise lately by 80 to 100 yuan per ton in various specifications. Now, cold rolled strip steel Q195 0.35*55 is 4,460-4,480 yuan per ton, Q195 0.4 *55 and Q195 0.45 *55 is 4,420-4,450 yuan per ton, SPCC0.35-0.39*55 is 4,520-4,550 yuan per ton, SPCC 0.4 *55 and SPCC 0.45 *55 is 4,460-4,480 yuan per ton. The prices of metal calcium wire and metal calcium particle have no fluctuation again since reduction last week. Now, in Henan and Shanxi, metal calcium wire (Ca≥97%, Φ: 7-7.5mm) is 18,000-19,000 yuan per ton; metal calcium particle (Ca≥98.5%, Φ: 0-2.5mm) is 19,500-21,000 yuan per ton.

There is no significant price fluctuation in cored wire products. The market transaction statistics shows that, now, the mainstream transaction price of silicon calcium cored wire Ca30Si58∮13mm is 10,500-11,000 yuan per ton, Ca28Si50∮13mm is 7,850-8,500 yuan per ton, Ca28Si55∮13mm is 9,700-10,000 yuan per ton and Ca30Si60∮13mm is 10,500-11,000 yuan per ton; solid pure calcium cored wire Ca98%min∮9mm is 9,700 - 10,200 yuan per ton; silicon magnesium cored wire Si40Mg28Re2∮13mm is 11,500-12,500 yuan per ton; ferro calcium cored wire Ca30∮13mm is 8,600-8,800 yuan per ton and Ca30∮30mm is 10,000-10,500 yuan per ton; ferrotitanium cored wire Ti30%min∮13mm is 11,500 - 11,800 yuan per ton; sulphur cored wire S98%∮13mm is 6,500-6,800 yuan per ton; ferroboron cored wire B17%∮13mm is 18,500-19,000 yuan per ton; seamless metal calcium cored wire Ca98%min∮9mm is 9,800-10,800 yuan per ton and Ca98%min∮10mm is 14,800-15,500 yuan per ton; carbon cored wire C96%∮13mm is 5,900-6,200 yuan per ton, C97%∮13mm is 5,800-6,100 yuan per ton and C98%∮13mm is 5,800-6,100 yuan per ton; nodularizer cored wire is 10,500-10,800 yuan per ton.

In terms of raw materials, Ferroboron FeB19C0.1 is 20,000-22,000 yuan per ton, FeB18C0.5 is 18,000-18,200 yuan per ton, FeB17C0.5 is 17,500-17,800 yuan per ton and FeB16C0.5 is 16,500-17,000 yuan per ton; silicocalcium Ca28Si50 is 9,300-9,500 yuan per ton, Ca28Si55 is 10,000-10,500 yuan per ton, Ca28Si60 is 10,600-10,800 yuan per ton, Ca30Si55 is 10,500-10,700 yuan per ton, Ca30Si56 is 10,000-10,200 yuan per ton, Ca30Si60 is 10,800-11,500 yuan per ton; rare earth magnesium silicon is 7,000-7,500 yuan per ton; FeTi30 is 9,300 yuan per ton; metal crude calcium (Ca≥98.5%, particle size: 0-2.5mm) is 18,500-21,000 yuan per ton.

The export transaction price of calcium silicon cored wire ca30si60∮13mm is 1,550 to 1,630 US dollars per ton. Calcium silicon cored wire ca28si55∮13mm is 1,530 to 1,600 US dollars per ton. Bite type solid core pure calcium core wire ca98%min∮9mm is 1,670 to 1,750 US dollars per ton. Pure calcium cored wire Ca30 ∮13mm is 1,350 to 1,400 US dollars per ton. There is no adjustment comparing with the last month (FOB price, Tianjin Port).

Recently, the market demand for cored wire increased slightly, but it is still difficult to change the overall downturn. The later market is not prospective and will be still dominated by weak and stable operation.
