Lecong Market: This week, shipments flowing to Lecong decreased significantly WoW. Specifically, on the one hand, resources from north China saw mixed increases and decreases, with an overall stable situation. On the other hand, due to the narrowing price spread between south China and east China, adjustments were made to the shipments of local mainstream resources, resulting in a significant decrease in arrivals this week. Looking ahead, with the price spread advantage in south China no longer present, shipments of mainstream resources may continue to lean towards east China. Therefore, the short-term arrival level in Lecong may not be high.
