From the perspective of foreign supply, overseas crude steel output hit a new high, and pig iron output has reached a "bottleneck." Although overseas crude steel production reached 440 million tons in the first half of the year, an increase of 66.86 million tons or 18.9% year-on-year, which is already higher than the level before the epidemic, the production of pig iron has not yet recovered to the level before the epidemic, and its annual output is far from the epidemic. There is still a gap of about 20 million tons. In addition to China, there are still a large number of idle or closed blast furnace production capacity in the world. The high carbon cost in Europe due to ESG, the shrinking domestic demand in Japan, and the political and military conflicts in Ukraine, Venezuela and other countries are preventing the restarting of blast furnaces or causing permanent blast furnaces. The reason for the shutdown. Overseas steel production capacity has now been fully utilized, and the increase in the second half of the year is limited. It is estimated that in the second half of the year, overseas crude steel production will increase by 40-50 million tons year-on-year, and there will be an increase of approximately 108 million tons-121 million tons for the whole year.
