The most-traded HRC contract fluctuated downward today, closing at 3,468 in the afternoon, down slightly by 0.26%. Spot market: As the Chinese New Year approaches, trading volume continued to decline. On the news front, Zhangjiagang HRC inventory data was released during the day. This week, Zhangjiagang HRC inventory stood at 403,000 mt, down 13,000 mt WoW (-3.13%), with a YoY decline of 12.39% on the Gregorian calendar and 16.04% on the lunar calendar. In the final week before the holiday, Zhangjiagang inventory continued to decrease. Looking ahead, as the market gradually enters the holiday period, spot market transactions are cooling down. However, the current inventory buildup pace is significantly slower than the same period in previous years, with low fundamental risks. HRC prices are expected to move sideways and stabilize before the holiday, with limited room for further fluctuations.
