Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View of the Report - The better - than - expected result of the China - US negotiation led to a significant drop in tariffs, which repaired market sentiment and drove the rebound of hot - rolled coils. This week, the demand for hot - rolled coils increased slightly, and the demand for building materials, cold - rolled coils, and medium - thick plates all rose, with inventory continuing to decline. The better - than - expected result of the China - US trade negotiation falsified the pessimistic expectation on the export side, and the market re - examined the supply - demand situation and expectations, resulting in a short - term corrective rebound. However, from the perspective of the steel supply - demand situation, future demand still has great uncertainty, and hot - rolled coils face significant pressure. In terms of trends, there is a short - term rebound but significant resistance above. The operating strategy is to participate in the short - term [10][52]. Summary According to the Directory 1.
