The futures market strengthened slightly, with moderate market confidence and a medium trading atmosphere. HRC trading was average. Supply side, the impact of maintenance at some steel mills in east China and north China continued this week, leading to a slight decline in HRC production. Demand side, apparent demand cooled down somewhat, with a significant narrowing of inventory drawdown. Social inventory across the country continued to decline. By region, inventory buildup was observed in the south China and north-east China markets, while destocking trends persisted in the east China, central China, and north China markets.
