Generally speaking, the decline of steel price has expanded and the turnover is poor. At present, the steel market is not optimistic about demand expectations, steel cost support is also weakening. It still takes time to rebalance between supply and demand, and it is unlikely to get rid of the disadvantaged adjustment in the short term.

 

 

 

The iron ore market has turned downward. According to the latest report, in the domestic mining market, prices have fallen weakly and most businesses are promoting at low prices. Import mine market prices also fell by $19.1 per ton. Although the overall arrival of imported mines has declined, most steel enterprises have slowed down their purchasing and the market sentiment is not high.

 

 

 

According to the analysis of relevant institutions, the domestic iron and steel industry is on the weak side recently. Although the supply of steel plants has been reduced, the social stock of steel products has been rising continuously under the drag of the continuing sluggish demand, and the pressure of shipment from manufacturers and businessmen is also increasing. However, with the alleviation of high temperature weather in various places, the downstream construction progress will be restored, and the risk of steel prices will be released after a sharp fall, which is beneficial to the stability of the steel market.
