[Research Institute: Shanghai's High-End Residential Market Saw Robust Growth in H1]
Shanghai's real estate market has continued the stabilization trend observed since Q4 of last year, with notable improvements in land transactions and the high-end residential market. Today, it was learned from the E-House China Research Institute that, in addition to the data on primary and secondary housing transactions, the institute has newly compiled and released data on Shanghai's high-end residential and land markets for H1. Among these, there was strong momentum in project subscriptions for Shanghai's high-end residential market. In H1, 1,096 new residential projects with a total price of 30 million yuan or more were traded, with a transaction value reaching 55.3 billion yuan.
This figure far surpassed the 19.4 billion yuan recorded in H1 of 2023, representing an increase of 184%. Looking at the high-end residential transaction data over the years, Shanghai has seen a significant rise in demand for high-end residential properties for two consecutive years in H1, with transaction volumes in each half-year exceeding 50 billion yuan. This not only reflects the active release of improved housing demand but also highlights the strong purchasing power in the high-end real estate sector.

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.
