Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - Short - term: Cost - side factors like the decline in the outer - market price and RMB appreciation provide support, but weak demand due to tight housing construction funds and low出库量 limits the rebound space. The increase in New Zealand's arrival volume may lead to a slight accumulation of inventory, with regional differentiation continuing [6]. - Medium - term: New Zealand's winter production reduction (expected decline in shipments from September to November) may ease import pressure, but domestic demand recovery depends on the implementation of infrastructure projects and the effectiveness of real - estate policies. If housing construction funds remain low and overseas shipments resume, inventory may accumulate again, and prices will face pressure [6].
