[SMM Daily Commentary on Hot-rolled Coil: Overcorrection in Hot-rolled Coil Futures! Market Sentiment in Panic] Today, the hot-rolled coil futures market continued to plummet, with a slight rebound in the closing session, ending the afternoon session at 3246, down 3.31%. The decline in futures exceeded expectations, and the trading atmosphere in the market was bleak, with poor trading of hot-rolled coils. According to SMM's disclosure of inventory research information in some mainstream cities over the past two days, social inventories in Shenyang, Zhangjiagang, Lecong, Tangshan, Shanghai, and other places are still accumulating, with a notable increase in inventory accumulation in Zhangjiagang. Currently, hot-rolled coil production has declined slightly, but inventories continue to accumulate, indicating that demand has fallen significantly due to the off-season and declining prices. The current fundamental contradiction may be even more pronounced than that of rebar. In terms of exports, according to SMM statistics, the number of ships leaving 32 ports continued to rise last week, indicating resilience in short-term exports. Overall, hot-rolled coil costs have weak support, and demand is poor. It is expected that hot-rolled coil prices will remain under pressure and weak in the short term.
