Group 1 - The investment rating of the steel industry in the report is "volatile" [1] Group 2 - The core view of the report is that after the previous upward movement, rebar has entered a consolidation phase again. The further loosening of monetary policy is beneficial to commodities. The steel mill accident in Baotou over the weekend may trigger expectations of safety inspections and production suspensions in the steel industry, which is positive for the market. Fundamentally, the production and inventory of steel have both declined, with a slight decline in rebar production and inventory, an increase in hot-rolled coil production, and a slight decline in inventory. The apparent demand has increased month-on-month. Project demand remains stable, overall market transactions are okay, merchants have a good attitude, and are relatively optimistic about the future market.
