Publicado: Nov 26, 2024 17:43
[SMM HRC Daily Review: Futures Jump Initially and Then Pull Back, Spot Market Transactions Remain Weak] Today, HRC futures jumped initially and then pulled back, with the most-traded contract 2501 closing at 3,471, down 0.12%. The futures market saw another round of fluctuations, with a generally weak trading atmosphere. Only a few end-use sectors made small purchases, while most downstream players remained on the sidelines, leading to weak HRC transactions. On the fundamentals, this week’s HRC maintenance impact volume was 6.6, down 18.3 WoW, indicating that supply is still recovering. Meanwhile, in terms of downstream consumption, auto retail sales remained high YoY, and the real estate sector showed marginal improvement, indicating resilient demand. Currently, the macro front is in a vacuum period, with the Politburo meeting and the Central Economic Work Conference expected to be held in December. Attention should be paid to whether new favourable macro policies will be introduced before the meetings. Overall, the contradictions in the HRC market have not become prominent, and HRC futures are expected to continue to fluctuate downward in the short term.
