[SMM Analysis: Cold-Hot Price Spread Will Experience Seasonal Narrowing in November-December] In October, cold-rolled steel prices exhibited strength amidst robust supply and demand dynamics and the continuous rollout of favorable macroeconomic policies. For most of the time, the cold-hot price spread remained above 500 yuan/ton. Cold-rolled steel consumption performed well in October, with high apparent demand corresponding to sustained inventory reductions, placing cold-rolled steel in a state of tight supply-demand balance with no prominent contradictions in the overall supply-demand situation. Macroeconomic factors had a significant impact in October. Internationally, the U.S. presidential election concluded, and the Federal Reserve implemented interest rate cuts. Domestically, at the press conference of the 12th meeting of the 14th National People's Congress Standing Committee held on November 8th, it was announced that China will issue new special bonds from 2024 onwards. Amid strong macroeconomic expectations and a tight supply-demand balance, cold-rolled steel prices continued to trend upwards overall.
