There is no trend in the industrial reality. The 1 - month contract of rebar and hot - rolled coil should focus on the support levels around 3000 and 3200 respectively. The steel supply and demand are basically balanced, but the export demand is expected to weaken due to Sino - US friction escalation [2]. Summaries by Relevant Catalogs - Prices and Spreads: Rebar and hot - rolled coil spot prices mostly declined. Costs and profits showed mixed trends, with some costs increasing slightly and some profits decreasing.

Group 2: Iron Ore Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View Last week, iron ore futures fluctuated and rose. The supply concerns have weakened, but the demand is weakening due to the decline in steel mill profit margins and the weakening of steel mill restocking demand. The iron ore will fluctuate within a range.
