In terms of the general library:

This week, the total treasury was 7.9025 million tons, up 105900 tons from last week, up 1.4 percent from the previous week, and 1.0997 million tons from last year, up 16.2 per cent from the same period last year.

 

In terms of social inventory:

This week, the social warehouse was 5.578 million tons, up 57400 tons from last week, up 1 per cent from the previous week, and 803700 tons from last year, up 16.8 per cent from the same period last year.

 

In terms of in-plant inventory:

This week, the factory warehouse was 2.3245 million tons, up 48500 tons from last week, up 2.1 percent from the previous week, and 296000 tons from last year, up 14.6 percent from the same period last year.

 

On the whole, the factory community is still growing this week, but the growth rate has slowed down. In terms of plant and warehouse, the growth rate shrank by 48000 tons. According to the SMM research on the maintenance of steel mills, the supply situation of mainstream steel mills is basically stable, but due to the profit contraction or even loss of small and medium-sized steel mills, the electric furnace plant began to reduce production to a certain extent. On the other hand, according to SMM research, the northwest region has made great efforts to develop traffic track construction, the demand side is stable release, and the order situation of mainstream steel mills is better. As a result, even if steel mills remain in high supply, the warehouse is still less than 30,000 tons. The main sales model of mainstream steel mills in East China is Changxie, so although the average market price fell 58.1 yuan / ton this week, steel mills shipped steadily. Some cities are still affected by the rainy season this week, but demand is still there, and with the continuous rise of iron ore and the good news, the transaction situation has improved to a certain extent compared with last week. Traders also adjusted the price of mainstream steel mills from a pessimistic attitude and actively shipped the goods. Thus it can be seen that although the social treasury has risen this week, the growth rate has slowed compared with last week. The contradiction between supply and demand as a whole has been alleviated to a certain extent, and the growth of factory social database has not brought pessimism.
