Steel production resumed, with rebar increasing and hot - rolled coil slightly decreasing. Steel exports were resilient, and downstream construction site funds improved marginally. As the parade approaches, iron - water production is expected to decrease, putting short - term pressure on steel prices. After August, the coal daily consumption will decline, and the blast furnace may resume production rapidly, potentially worsening the steel fundamentals [4]. - **Trading Strategy**: Unilateral: Maintain a bottom - oscillating trend; Arbitrage: Short the hot - rolled coil to rebar spread; Option: Wait and see [7][8][9].

The supply growth slowed down, and the demand was supported by the increase in steel production and apparent consumption. For manganese - silicon, the manganese ore spot price was stable, and the manganese - silicon spot price decreased.
