[SMM Steel Morning Meeting Summary: With Chinese New Year Approaching, HRC Prices Are Expected to Briefly Surge Before Entering a Volatile Trend Next Week] Last week, HRC spot prices rose significantly. Fundamentals: This week, the number of steel mill hot-rolling production line maintenance decreased, weekly HRC production increased, and market demand also improved, with downstream end-users showing higher purchasing enthusiasm, easing the fundamental imbalance in the HRC market. Looking ahead, news of RRR cuts and interest rate cuts by the PBOC, combined with a significantly slower inventory buildup of HRC compared to previous years, indicates a relatively low fundamental imbalance in the HRC market, which is favorable for HRC prices. On the cost side, coke prices are still expected to decline in the short term, while ore prices remain volatile, slightly weakening cost support for HRC. Overall, the fundamental imbalance in the HRC market is relatively small, and with Chinese New Year approaching, market confidence is strong. HRC prices are expected to briefly surge before entering a volatile trend this week, with the most-traded contract operating in the 3,410-3,560 range.
