On Friday, Beijing introduced new property market policies, and it is expected that other first-tier cities will also introduce a new round of property market policies successively. The price of rebar fluctuated, the price of cement continued to decline, and the focus was on key industries to combat excessive competition.

Real Estate Sales: New Home Sales in First-Tier Cities Weakened Significantly - This week (August 1 - August 7), the transaction volume of new homes decreased significantly on a week-on-week basis, and the year-on-year decline slightly narrowed.

On a year-on-year basis, except for Shanghai (3.83%) and Shenzhen (3.88%), the transaction volume in other cities was weaker than last year [26]. 2. Investment: Most Commodity Prices Declined - This week, most commodity prices declined. The price of rebar fluctuated within a narrow range, with the cost side supported by strict inspections of coking coal overproduction, but the demand side remained weak, and inventory continued to accumulate. The price of glass decreased as the sentiment of combating excessive competition subsided, and the price lacked upward momentum due to weak demand. The cement price index continued to decline, affected by weather and demand, and local price cuts could not offset the inventory pressure. The price of asphalt decreased, possibly affected by fluctuations in the cost of crude oil [2]. 3. Production: The Utilization Rates of Production Capacity Showed Differentiated Performance - This week, the utilization rates of production capacity showed differentiated performance. The utilization rates of coking enterprises and steel mills' blast furnaces increased, while those of petroleum asphalt, polyester filament, and PTA decreased significantly.

Exports: SCFI and BDI Declined - This week, the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) and the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) declined, while the CRB Spot Index remained basically flat.

Prices: Pork Prices Declined, Vegetable Prices Rose Significantly, and Oil Prices Declined - This week, pork prices declined, vegetable prices rose significantly, and oil prices declined. The sharp increase in vegetable prices was mainly due to floods caused by heavy rainfall in the north, which destroyed vegetable fields and reduced the supply of vegetables. The decrease in crude oil prices was mainly due to the expected decline in global trade demand, increased supply surplus, and the subsidence of geopolitical risk premiums [2].
