due to the bottom effect of low inventory, domestic steel prices continue to rise. The strong supply capacity and large delivery volume of the global iron ore market have led to the rapid oxidation of materials, so the ore price is stable and tends to fall
according to the latest market report provided by "my steel", a well-known domestic steel information organization, the domestic spot steel price composite index closed at 91.73 points in the recent week, up 1.8% for the week. Recently, after the steel futures market weakened, it rebounded strongly again, and the billet price also temporarily stabilized above 2000 yuan per ton. The trend of spot steel price basically corresponds to it.

according to the analysis of relevant institutions, the new order index of domestic manufacturing industry and steel industry both rebounded to the expansion range of more than 50% in March, and the profit growth rate of Industrial Enterprises above Designated Size in the first two months of this year turned from negative to positive, indicating that the downstream demand of the steel industry continued to pick up.
