Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an investment rating for the steel industry, but it discusses the challenges and strategies for improving pricing power in the iron ore market, indicating a focus on long-term strategic improvements rather than immediate investment recommendations [2]. Core Insights - China, as the world's largest steel producer, faces significant challenges in iron ore pricing power due to high dependence on foreign resources, lack of pricing authority, and profit margins being squeezed by mining giants. The country is pursuing a multi-faceted strategy to reclaim pricing power through national consolidation, diversified supply chains, and a new pricing mechanism based on the Renminbi and Chinese indices [2][4][29]. Summary by Sections 1. The Triple Constraints of Iron Ore Pricing Power - China's crude steel production is projected to reach approximately 1.005 billion tons in 2024, accounting for 53% of global output, yet the industry is constrained by high foreign dependence, lack of pricing power, and squeezed profits [4]. - The domestic iron ore resources are insufficient, with an average grade of only 34.5%, significantly lower than the global average of 44%, leading to high extraction costs ranging from 300 to 900 RMB per ton compared to 15 to 25 USD per ton for major Australian miners [5][6]. 2. Structural Constraints: "Oligopoly Sellers" vs. "Dispersed Buyers" - The global iron ore supply is dominated by a few major companies, while China's demand is fragmented among many smaller firms, resulting in a lack of bargaining power for Chinese steel producers [9][10]. - The top four mining companies control about 75% of the global seaborne iron ore trade, maintaining significant cost advantages and monopolistic control over high-quality resources [9]. 3. Profit Constraints: Price Volatility and Profit Imbalance - The lack of pricing power has led to severe profit squeezes for Chinese steel companies, with iron ore prices experiencing extreme fluctuations, peaking at 230 USD per ton in 2021 before dropping to 90 USD per ton [11][13]. - In 2024, the total profit for China's steel industry is expected to be 30.057 billion RMB (approximately 4.2 billion USD), a 67.86% decline year-on-year, while the four major mining companies are projected to achieve a combined net profit of 41.37 billion USD, highlighting the profit distribution imbalance [14]. 4. Iron Ore Pricing Mechanism and Core Issues - The global iron ore trade has traditionally followed the Platts index pricing and USD settlement, which has been criticized for its lack of transparency and susceptibility to manipulation [15][16]. - The reliance on USD for settlements exposes Chinese steel companies to exchange rate risks and high foreign exchange costs, with an estimated demand of approximately 135.377 billion USD for foreign exchange in 2024 [16]. 5. Strategies for Breaking the Pricing Power Deadlock - China is working on a multi-dimensional strategy to enhance its bargaining power through national consolidation, diversified supply channels, and financial innovations [17]. - The establishment of the China Mineral Resources Group aims to unify procurement negotiations, enhancing the bargaining power of Chinese steel companies [18][19]. - Efforts to diversify supply sources include increasing imports from non-traditional iron ore countries and enhancing the share of overseas equity mines [20][22]. 6. Reshaping the Value Chain: Building a Chinese Pricing System - China is moving towards a new pricing system based on Renminbi settlements and the development of a domestic iron ore price index, with the Beijing Iron Ore Trading Center launching the "North Iron Index" to reflect local supply and demand [25]. - The proportion of Renminbi settlements in iron ore trade is expected to rise significantly, with a target of 25% by 2025 [25]. 7. Future Outlook - The enhancement of pricing power is anticipated to lead to significant cost optimization for the Chinese steel industry, potentially reducing steel production costs by 336 RMB per ton [26][27]. - Despite the progress, challenges remain, including the entrenched dominance of the USD in long-term contracts and the need for the new pricing index to gain international acceptance [28][29].
