In terms of industry fundamentals, although the inflection point of medium-and short-term demand has yet to be confirmed, it is not appropriate to be too bearish here, because switching in the off-peak season, infrastructure underpinning and real estate price increases are positive factors in the future demand side. therefore, black goods should pay attention to low long opportunities.

International steel price: the international steel price is weak this week.

This week, iron ore port inventories across the country fell 630000 tons month-on-month, and the volume is still considerable. At present, the mineral price is already at the bottom of the stage, and the falling space is limited.
