تحديث السوق: أسعار خردة الصلب

Overall Market Trends

الأسبوع الماضي, استمر سوق الصلب الخردة المحلي في التقلب وأظهر الضعف. Merchants remained cautious with low enthusiasm for operations. Steel companies purchased on demand, and consumption stayed low. The average purchase price for key steel companies was down by 21 yuan/ton for heavy scrap, 19 yuan/ton for medium scrap, و 21 yuan/ton for general scrap compared to the previous week.

Market Influences and Company Responses

The ongoing decline in the futures market and finished steel prices hurt market confidence and steel company profits. To reduce costs, some steel companies lowered their scrap steel purchase prices again. Lower prices made it harder for bases to receive goods. High temperatures and rainy weather further reduced scrap steel processing and slowed merchant shipping, leaving steel company inventories low. Without significant macroeconomic policy changes to boost demand and market confidence, the domestic scrap steel market is expected to remain weak, though major price drops are unlikely.
