Before the Spring Festival the Steel Market Will Close in Calm

External news sources, as the US-Iraq conflict has been digested, in addition, the US Congress is expected to vote this week to limit Trump's war power, the market mentality has eased. The increase in the mainstream futures of thread futures is significantly larger than the increase.

 

The spot market price consolidates in a narrow range, the thread price is slightly loose, other varieties basically remain sideways, the mainstream of the transaction is light, there are winter storage requirements in some regions, and speculative demand in most regions is more cautious. At present, the demand from the terminal has gradually weakened, and this week there will be a succession of steel traders and terminal construction companies starting to take holidays.
