According to the SMM survey, as of September 17, the operating rate of 50 major electric furnace steel plants producing rebar nationwide was 27.08%, up 0.66% WoW. Looking ahead, short-term end-users still hold expectations for the September-October peak season. With the National Day holiday approaching, steel demand can be expected to maintain a certain level. It is anticipated that the total inventory may continue to decline next week. Attention should be focused on changes in demand and macroeconomic fluctuations.
