1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core View of the Report - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market has significantly cooled, with the prices of finished steel products slightly adjusting downwards. The market sentiment has clearly cooled, and the fundamentals of steel are weak. The futures prices may gradually return to the real - trading logic. Although the current static fundamental contradictions are not prominent, the Politburo meeting did not provide new positive signals for the real estate market, and the policy is expected to continue the previous tone of "strictly controlling increments." Attention should be paid to the repair rhythm of terminal actual demand and the support of the cost side for the prices of finished steel products [10][11] 3.
