1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Steel prices declined today, with overall weak spot steel transactions, a drop in the futures market, and no spot - futures connection, leading to a general weakening of transactions. Last week's data showed a slight increase in the production of the five major steel products, with an increase in rebar production and a shift to increased production in hot - rolled coils. Steel mills are still in the mode of production suspension and maintenance. After the Spring Festival, downstream demand has seasonally recovered, but inventories are still accumulating rapidly, especially for rebar, and the inventory is shifting from mill warehouses to social warehouses. The capital availability of downstream construction sites nationwide improved last week, with better capital availability in housing projects than in non - real estate projects. Recently, the pace of fiscal expenditure has accelerated, and the recovery of downstream demand remains to be seen. Steel mills' willingness to resume production is weak, still putting pressure on raw materials in the short term. However, due to large overseas geopolitical frictions and the recent signs of easing in US - Iran relations, energy prices have fallen, and the black metal sector has followed suit. Therefore, steel prices may maintain a volatile trend in the near term, but there is still a chance for steel prices to return to fundamentals in March, and pressure on steel prices remains. Attention should still be paid to hot metal production, downstream demand performance, and overseas geopolitical frictions [6]. 3.
