Group 1 - The short-term macroeconomic positive effects are weakening, and terminal demand is facing downward pressure, leading to an increasing contradiction between supply and demand for rebar if steel mills maintain current supply levels, making it difficult for profits to sustain [1][5] - Recent macroeconomic developments include significant progress in US-China trade talks, with both sides agreeing to substantially reduce bilateral tariffs, and a reduction in the one-year and five-year Loan Prime Rates (LPR) by the central bank [1][2] - The apparent consumption of rebar was 2.6029 million tons last week, showing a week-on-week increase of 463,900 tons, indicating some resilience in demand, but the overall downward trend remains unchanged [2] Group 2 - Steel mills have maintained high production levels, with rebar production at 2.2653 million tons last week, an increase of 30,000 tons week-on-week, despite expectations of administrative production restrictions [3] - The average daily pig iron production is at 2.4477 million tons, which is high for this time of year, but the oversupply of coking coal continues, leading to a weak pricing environment for both coking coal and coke [4] - The total inventory of rebar was 6.1987 million tons last week, a decrease of 337,600 tons week-on-week, but if demand weakens further, the supply-demand contradiction may gradually increase [3][4]
