Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - This week, the steel market showed a relatively strong trend, with both futures and spot prices rising. The drivers are from two aspects: macroscopically, geopolitical conflicts have pushed up energy prices and spread to the commodity market; industrially, construction steel presents a pattern of "both supply and demand increasing, and inventory accumulation slowing down". The current production and inventory levels are at the lowest in the same period of the past five years, providing support for prices [1]. - Looking ahead, there are disturbances on the supply side of furnace materials, and the cost side continues to rise. Construction sites are gradually resuming work, the spot trading of building materials is gradually recovering, and the apparent demand has returned to the level of the same period last year, but it is still in the off - season. Geopolitical conflicts still have great uncertainties, and the US has launched a new trade investigation, which is negative for steel exports. After the Two Sessions, there is still room for blast furnace复产, the upward driving force of the futures market is limited, and there is pressure after the price rebounds [1].
