Core Viewpoint - The steel industry is showing signs of recovery in October 2025, with the PMI rising to 49.2%, ending a two-month decline, although challenges such as high raw material prices and inventory pressures remain [1][2]. Demand Recovery - October saw a recovery in steel demand due to the resumption of outdoor construction post-holidays and a lack of adverse weather in northern regions, but the real estate sector remains in deep adjustment, limiting overall market demand [2][3]. - The new orders index increased to 47.6%, up 2.4 percentage points, indicating some improvement in demand, but still within a contraction zone [3]. - Export orders showed significant improvement, with the new export orders index rising to 54.3%, the highest in nearly 20 months, driven by price differentials and overseas demand [3]. Production Trends - Steel production stabilized in October, with the production index rising to 49.8%, up 4.1 percentage points, indicating a recovery in production activities [5]. - Despite improvements in both supply and demand, the recovery in demand is weaker than the increase in supply, leading to continued inventory pressures for steel mills [5]. Raw Material Prices - Raw material prices remain high, with the purchasing price index exceeding 70%, indicating increased cost pressures for steel manufacturers [8]. - Prices for different raw materials are showing divergence, with iron ore prices stabilizing, scrap steel prices declining, and coke prices rising due to supply constraints [8]. Price and Profitability - Steel prices have shown a downward trend, with the Shanghai rebar price index dropping from 3176 CNY/ton to 3122 CNY/ton during October, leading to further compression of profit margins for steel mills [11]. - The overall cost pressure on steel manufacturers has increased compared to September, despite some recovery in demand [11]. Future Outlook - In November, steel demand is expected to show a "first rise then fall" trend, supported by construction activities and export resilience, but constrained by ongoing weakness in the real estate sector and seasonal factors [12]. - Steel production is anticipated to contract due to environmental restrictions in northern regions and a shift from peak to off-peak demand [15].

Core Viewpoint - The March manufacturing PMI has returned to a one-year high, raising questions about whether it will repeat last year's pattern of a peak followed by a decline [1] Group 1: Comparison with Last Year - Similar to last year, the March PMI has seasonal increases following the end of the Spring Festival impact, but this year relies more on marginal improvements and enhanced "scientific content" rather than a short-term pulse effect [2] - The Longjiang Business School BCI for March is at 54.8%, higher than last year's 52.1%, and the EPMI has seen a significant month-on-month increase of 10.6 percentage points, marking the highest growth rate in two years [2] Group 2: PMI Performance Analysis - The new orders index for March PMI recorded 51.8%, a month-on-month increase of 0.7 percentage points, becoming the largest driving factor for the manufacturing PMI [4] - The production index's month-on-month growth is only 0.1 percentage points, indicating that production recovery is lagging behind demand, possibly due to prior production being at sufficient levels [4] Group 3: Export and Demand Insights - The new export orders index for March PMI has increased by 0.4 percentage points, indicating ongoing efforts to "seize exports" [7] - Small enterprises have shown the most significant increase in PMI, with a month-on-month growth of 3.3 percentage points, contrasting with large enterprises' decline of 1.3 percentage points and medium enterprises' increase of 0.7 percentage points [7] Group 4: Sustainability of Demand Recovery - Despite positive signals from the March PMI, there are underlying risks, including weak performance in two major price indicators, with the raw material purchase price index at 49.8% and the factory price index at 47.9% [9] - The import index for March PMI is at 47.5%, reflecting a significant month-on-month decline of 2.0 percentage points, indicating insufficient domestic demand [12] - There is a prevailing cautious sentiment among enterprises, as the production activity expectation index has decreased from 54.5% in February to 53.8% in March, and the employment index has also declined [12]
