The Fed's interest - rate meeting was as expected, and while the employment market is stable, there is an upward risk of inflation [12] - Steel prices continue to fluctuate, recently showing weakness, with no obvious trend - driven factors. The seasonal weakening of building materials demand suppresses steel prices, but the fundamental contradictions are not prominent, and the valuation is not high, so there is limited downward space [29] - For zinc, the zinc concentrate production of Fresnilloplc in 2025 increased and decreased. Be cautious about chasing long, and previous long positions can be held. Short - term operation is difficult, and position management is recommended [4][59] - The utilization rate of domestic heavy - traffic asphalt production capacity has decreased. Due to the scarcity of low - price heavy - crude oil resources, the rebound of asphalt is relatively strong, but the pre - holiday stocking pace has slowed down, and the actual demand support is weak [5] Summary by Directory 1.
