Shanghai Market: This week, shipments in the Shanghai market increased slightly WoW. Specifically, shipments of resources from north-east China and south China increased, while shipments from north China and east China remained stable. Looking ahead, with the recent fluctuating rangebound HRC prices and the impact of the off-season becoming apparent, downstream procurement has become more cautious, and merchants' purchase willingness is weak. It is expected that arrivals in the Shanghai market will remain at a moderately low level in the short term.
