Rebar futures experienced significant fluctuations today, closing down at 3,208 points, a decrease of 0.19%. In the spot market, influenced by the substantial volatility in the futures market, spot prices in some markets showed slight loosening, with weak trading throughout the day. From the perspective of industrial fundamentals, national rebar production at steel mills increased slightly this week, with apparent demand rising. In-plant inventory and social inventory continued to decline. The total rebar inventory this week was 7.6427 million mt, down 171,900 mt WoW, a decrease of 2.2% MoM and a 29.2% YoY decline on a lunar calendar basis. On the demand side, downstream end-users were affected by a low rate of capital availability, resulting in a recovery in demand strength that fell short of market expectations. The overall market sentiment remained cautious, and it is expected that building material prices will remain stable with a slight downward trend tomorrow.

Before the holiday, the black chain is unlikely to see a trend-driven market [SMM Steel Industry Chain Weekly Report].

This week, ferrous metals were in the doldrums, with coking coal and coke staging a mid-week rise. At the beginning of the week, financial markets experienced sharp fluctuations, dragging down sentiment in the ferrous chain and leading to a pullback in futures. Mid-week, Indonesia's cut to coke production quotas drove coking coal and coke futures to lead the gains, though the impact was more pronounced on thermal coal, while coking coal's rise was largely sentiment-driven and short-lived. In the latter part of the week, finished products continued their seasonal inventory buildup, and support from the raw material side weakened, causing the entire ferrous chain to pull back. In the spot market, with the Chinese New Year holiday approaching, purchasing activity slowed down further, with end-users only making limited, as-needed purchases at low prices.
