Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, steel and ore prices rose significantly due to macro news. There were market rumors during the week that the shantytown renovation would be restarted, causing the entire black - series to rise. Coupled with the previous "capacity - reduction expectation", the market was bullish. The current dominant factor is sentiment. Although traditional seasonality and actual demand do not support price increases, considering the basis, steel enterprise profitability, and the balance of long and short forces, the overall market rebound trend is not over. Given that sentiment is the dominant factor and policies are unclear, short - term and intraday trading is recommended, waiting for clear information [71]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.
