1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The main contract price of rebar rebounded from the bottom, with a daily increase of 0.16%. In the current situation of weak supply and demand, the fundamentals of rebar are poor, industrial contradictions are accumulating, the pressure of inventory reduction under weak demand is relatively large, and the cost - support advantage is also weakening. It is expected that the steel price will continue the weak bottom - seeking trend, and attention should be paid to the demand performance [6]. - The main contract price of hot - rolled coil fluctuated. It recorded a daily decline of 0.19%. Currently, the supply of hot - rolled coil is high, while there are concerns about demand. Industrial contradictions are continuously accumulating, the inventory reduction is large, and the price of hot - rolled coil is under pressure and running weakly. Attention should be paid to the demand performance and beware of the intensification of industrial contradictions caused by the weakening of demand [6]. - The main contract price of iron ore fluctuated weakly, with a daily decline of 0.90%.
