It is expected that the price will continue to fluctuate at a low level. Attention should be paid to the demand recovery after the holiday [4]. - **Hot - rolled coil**: The main contract futures price fluctuated, with a daily increase of 0.37%, and both trading volume and open interest increased. At present, the supply of hot - rolled coils remains at a high level, while demand is weak. The fundamentals are continuously weakening.
