Group 1: Report's Core View - The supply and demand of rebar have both weakened. The weekly output of rebar decreased slightly, and it is operating weakly at a low level. However, due to good profit per ton of some varieties and the return of production from some varieties, the low - supply pattern is not expected to last. Meanwhile, rebar demand has weakened again, with the weekly apparent demand and daily high - frequency transactions both shrinking, remaining at a low level in recent years. The weak demand in the off - season remains unchanged, continuing to put pressure on steel prices.
