In November, the domestic steel market experienced a volatile upward trend driven by strong expectations of macroeconomic policies and the gradual effect of steel mills’ production reductions becoming apparent. The demand for rush work was concentrated, leading to a surge in market conditions. However, the external environment still remains complex and severe, with the global manufacturing PMI falling back into the contraction range and sustained inflationary pressure continuing to plague the global economic recovery.
On the domestic front, the economy is generally operating stably, but there is still insufficient domestic demand, and the foundation for economic recovery needs to be consolidated. Despite the challenges, the country is focused on seeking progress while maintaining stability and implementing macroeconomic control accurately and effectively. The goal is to focus on expanding domestic demand, boosting confidence, and preventing risks to continue improving economic performance, endogenous power, social expectations, and resolving hidden risks.
Looking ahead, the domestic steel market is anticipated to present a pattern of a complex and severe external environment, favorable domestic policies, enhanced expectations of supply contraction, gradual emergence of off-season effects, and continued cost support resilience. However, the “weak reality” of off-season demand in December has placed constraints on the market.
On a positive note, the upcoming economic work conference is expected to release strong policy expectations that may form confidence support. Despite the favorable and unfavorable market situations, the domestic steel market is projected to exhibit high fluctuations in December.
The uncertainty and volatility in the domestic steel market create challenges for industry players. It is crucial for stakeholders to closely monitor the market conditions, external factors, and policy developments to make informed decisions and strategize effectively. With the global economic recovery facing instability and the domestic economy still needing to fortify its foundation, navigating the domestic steel market environment and conditions requires a cautious yet proactive approach.
In conclusion, the current state of the domestic steel market is reflective of the broader economic landscape, marked by both opportunities and challenges. As stakeholders brace for high fluctuations in December, it is imperative to remain adaptable, responsive to policy changes, and focused on sustaining the domestic steel market amidst a complex and volatile environment. By staying informed and proactive, industry players can make the most out of the prevailing market conditions and work towards long-term resilience and growth in the domestic steel sector.
