Leave a message
Recently, due to the decline in the price of domestic raw materials market, the trading volume of imported iron ore and billet market has improved slightly, while the price of scrap steel is relatively high. The price of 304 stainless steel belt is mainly stable. Both supply and demand sides maintain this wait-and-see attitude. Although the price decline in the recent market is relatively large, steel mills and traders still do not have much confidence, especially in the face of problems such as overcapacity and capital pressure, Many customers dare not sell easily.
Considering the recent market downturn, some have even fallen to the cost area. However, the pressure on market resource supply in the later stage is relieved, and some steel mills need to replenish inventory after the fourth quarter. It is expected that the domestic billet and imported ore prices may rise slightly in the later stage, while the price of scrap steel is mainly subject to small fluctuations.
From the perspective of the reasons for the decline in prices, it is mainly affected by economic transformation, weak demand in the terminal real estate market and the decline in the price of raw materials.
From the perspective of the industrial chain, the oversupply and the change in the demand for finished steel in the downstream have affected the price of the whole industry.
The decline in steel demand this year has led to a weak and downward price in the steel market. In order to maintain business, many steel mills have to change the procurement mode to purchase on demand, which has led to a downward price of 304 stainless steel strip.
From the feedback of the market, at present, many manufacturers sell at low prices, coupled with the reduction of market resources, but many enterprises are in a wait-and-see state, which makes the decline of steel price more obvious. Coupled with capital and cost, some steel mills have incomplete specifications.
Generally speaking, in the near future, the price of domestic steel market is expected to return to stability, especially with the increase of replenishment demand from interrupted customers, the probability of price collapse is relatively low.
