At present, the contraction at the supply side of steel mills is still continuing.

Crude oil fell 0.1 per cent in the previous period, while US oil closed higher on Wednesday as US gasoline consumption showed signs of recovery, but rising crude oil inventories and rising cases of coronavirus infections limited the rise in oil prices. Recently, there has been a surge in coronavirus infections in the United States, bringing the total number of cases in the United States to more than 3 million, reducing hopes of a rapid recovery in oil demand. Oil demand has been hit by global blockades to prevent the spread of the virus. Key OPEC+ ministers, including OPEC, Russia and other oil producers, are scheduled to meet next week to discuss a record deal to cut production. Under the current arrangement, the production reduction agreement will last until the end of July, and then the production reduction will begin to shrink.
