Steel Market Weekly Summary

Policy Impact: The relaxation of the "housing recognition not based on property ownership" policy initially boosted market sentiment, leading to short-term price increases. However, demand improvement remained limited, causing a shift in transaction sentiment from strength to weakness and subsequent price declines.
Price Trends: Following the policy news, steel futures contracts showed declines: rebar (RB2401) fell 252 points to 3717元/吨, and hot-rolled coil (HC2401) declined 320 points to 3809元/吨. Local markets like Wuhan experienced narrow price ranges, with rebar prices decreasing by 20元/吨 weekly and盘螺 prices stable, while Zhengzhou saw mixed price movements ending with weaker overall performance.
Demand and Supply: National demand indicators showed a small increase in steel consumption, excluding speculation, but supply rose with higher furnace utilization rates, deterring strong inventory accumulation due to muted demand expectations. Total steel inventory decreased by 2.2 million tons, with rebar showing significant reduction.
Future Outlook: The "gold and silver September and October" season may provide clearer insights into steel prices, contingent on ongoing monitoring of real estate consumption, economic stimulus policy implementation, and supply-demand dynamics.
Core Analysis: Despite policy support, immediate demand recovery is insufficient, maintaining a bearish outlook with limited long-term opportunities unless economic and regulatory factors show substantial progress.
