Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The steel market is currently facing a weakening fundamental situation. With the approaching Spring Festival, steel mills are entering the holiday shutdown and maintenance mode, resulting in a continued reduction in the overall production of the five major steel products, except for medium - thick plates which are still increasing production [5]. - Steel inventories are accelerating the process of accumulation, with the overall social inventory pressure being greater than the factory inventory. The demand for building materials is rapidly declining as downstream construction sites are gradually shutting down, while the demand for hot - rolled coils is also decreasing due to factors such as the decline in export licenses and the end of restocking by overseas manufacturing industries. However, the decline in demand for cold - rolled products still shows some resilience [5]. - The steel market is expected to maintain a weak and volatile trend before the Spring Festival. After the festival, capital expenditure may fall short of expectations, and the demand recovery situation remains to be seen. The pessimistic expectations of steel mills may also limit the level of hot metal production this year, putting pressure on raw materials [5]. 3.
