Unyaka ka-2021 umiselwe ukuba ube ngunyaka oza kubhalwa kwimbali yoshishino lwentsimbi kwanakwishishini leempahla ezinkulu. Xa sijonga emva kwimarike yentsimbi yasekhaya unyaka wonke, ingachazwa njengentle kakhulu neyayinesiphithiphithi. Isiqingatha sokuqala sonyaka sifumene ukwanda okukhulu kwimbali, kwaye isiqingatha sesibini sonyaka sazisa ukuwohloka kwimbali.
Xa ndijonga emva kwimarike yentsimbi ngoNovemba, ekupheleni kwenyanga, yayisabonisa ukwehla okuqhubekayo nokubukhali. Ixabiso lentsimbi edibeneyo lehle ngama-583 amanqaku, ixabiso lentambo kunyeintonga yocingoIhle ngamanqaku angama-520 kunye nama-527, ngokulandelelana, kwaye amaxabiso epleyiti, eshushu eqengqelekayo kunyeintsimbi eqengqelekayo ebandayongokulandelelana. Yehle ngamanqaku angama-556, 625, kunye nama-705. Ngeli xesha, indawo yabuya kabini, kwaye yabuya kwakhona kangangeentsuku ezimbalwa kwisiqingatha sesibini sonyaka. Nangona kunjalo, ukuqhambuka ngequbuliso kobhubhane kunye nolindelo lokuqala lokunyuka kwenzala e-US kongeze uxinzelelo olutsha, kwaye ukusebenza kwendawo kwakubuthathaka kunokuba bekulindelwe. Kwimarike yexesha elizayo, ixabiso lomsonto ka-2201 labuya kwakhona ngamanqaku angama-509 ukusuka kwinqanaba eliphantsi, kwaye ixabiso lomsonto ka-2205 labuya kwakhona ngamanqaku angama-523 ukusuka kwinqanaba eliphantsi, nto leyo eyayihambelana ngakumbi nolindelo. Ixabiso le-62% ye-iron ore yase-Australia lehle nge-12 yeedola zaseMelika, i-composite coke price index yehle ngamanqaku ali-1298, kwaye i-scrap steel yehle ngamanqaku angama-406. Ngokwembono yexesha elizayo, amaxabiso e-iron ore kunye ne-coke abuye kwakhona ukuya kwinqanaba elithile. Amaxabiso e-iron ore ka-2201 aphinde anyuka nge-119.5 okanye i-23.5%, amaxabiso e-coke ka-2201 aphinde anyuka nge-430 okanye i-14%, kwaye amaxabiso e-iron ore aphinde anyuka kakhulu.
Sijonge phambili kwimarike yentsimbi ngoDisemba, ingangena kwinqanaba lemidlalo emininzi ebaluleke kakhulu kwimbali, kunye nokulungiswa kwemigaqo-nkqubo yezindlu ezikhoyo, ingqiqo phakathi kokunyuka okunokwenzeka kwemfuno yemithwalo yemisebenzi yomzimba ekupheleni kwalo nyaka kunye nokuqala konyaka ozayo kunye nokwehla kwexesha lonyaka kwemfuno yezinto zokwakha Umdlalo; kukho umdlalo onengqondo phakathi kokuqalisa kwakhona imveliso emva kokugqiba umsebenzi wokuthintelwa kwemveliso kunye nokunciphisa imveliso emva kokuba umsebenzi ungagqitywanga; kukho umdlalo onengqondo phakathi kwezixhobo ezininzi ezifunekayo ukuhanjiswa kwendawo ngoDisemba kunye nendawo encinci kakhulu, kwaye kukwakho noqikelelo olukhulu kwixesha elizayo lika-2201. Umdlalo phakathi kwee-odolo ezimfutshane kunye nokungafuni kweenkunzi zoshishino ukuyeka; umdlalo wokunciphisa ngokukhawuleza amaxabiso eendawo kwixesha elizayo, njl.njl., elide nelifutshane ziyadibana, kwaye amaxabiso entsimbi ayatshintshatshintsha ngokwahluka.
