The price increase of bulk commodities seriously deviates from the industrial operation price chain

"As we all know, in the previous period, the price of bulk commodities has risen too fast. There are different opinions in the economic community for the reasons, but the views of the industry on this issue are more consistent: this is a serious departure from the price chain of industrial operations. ."

"Take aluminum, copper, and rebar as examples. Because of the price increase of these categories, if the full cost is invested, the cost can be recovered in seven months. This completely deviates from the normal price growth range." Ge Honglin said that all those who engage in industry know it. , The fundamentals of the supply and demand of bulk commodities have not substantially changed, and the cost does not support such a large increase in prices. The power of capital and the promotion of funds are the key to this round of rise.

He pointed out that since the executive meeting of the State Council on May 12 called for an effective response to the excessively rapid increase in commodity prices and its associated effects, the futures prices of steel, copper, and aluminum have fallen. But on May 17-18, prices rebounded again.

"Because some institutions still want to push higher profits, this underestimates the policy's determination and ability to regulate and control." Ge Honglin said.

He pointed out that after the State Council executive meeting on May 19 again emphasized the strengthening of bulk commodity market supervision, some institutions have converged. In mid-May, the prices of rebar, copper, and aluminum fell sharply, falling by 1,100 yuan and 6,000 yuan per ton, respectively. , 1500 yuan.

Ge Honglin said that there are currently some different views on government regulation. Some people think that the rise is a market behavior and the government does not need regulation; but more people believe that when market hype hits the "six stability and six guarantees" , The government must intervene and "must take action when it is time to take action."

"As a basic raw material, the price of bulk commodities should be steady. Historical experience tells us that only a suitable and relatively stable price chain is conducive to the healthy development of the industrial chain, and it can be stable and far-reaching." He said.
