On the upstream side, the first round of increase in the coke market of 50-60 RMB/ton had not yet been implemented; Port iron ore continued to decline slightly; The scrap steel market was generally stable, with some regions experiencing a slight decline. During the Dragon Boat Festival, Tangshan's steel billets fell weakly, and domestic merchants' spot prices were stable and declined. After the holiday, spot prices in most regions of China had slightly declined. On the first trading day after the holiday, downstream demand had not yet started. Due to the recent concentration of overcast and rainy weather in the south, downstream construction was hindered, and the short-term demand release was slow, resulting in insufficient market confidence.

Market outlook

It is expected that the short-term trend of rebar and wire rode prices will remain volatile and weaker.
