Core Views - The main contract price of rebar fluctuated with a daily decline of 0.03%, and both trading volume and open interest decreased. The supply and demand of rebar weakened, with production and demand both showing poor performance. Given the low inventory, the rebar price will continue to oscillate and search for a bottom, and attention should be paid to the demand situation [4]. - The main contract price of hot-rolled coil fluctuated with a daily decline of 0.06%, trading volume decreased while open interest increased. The supply of hot-rolled coil continued to rise, while demand was weak and stable. With the increase in inventory, the price of hot-rolled coil will be under pressure. Considering the easing of Sino-US trade risks, the price of hot-rolled coil will continue to oscillate at a low level, and attention should be paid to the demand situation [6]. - The main contract price of iron ore oscillated downward with a daily decline of 0.71%, and both trading volume and open interest decreased. The fundamentals of iron ore were weakly stable. With the weakening of steel mill production in the off-season, the demand for iron ore was weak, while the supply was increasing.
