Analysis review
From June to July, the northern region experienced high temperatures and rainy weather, entering the traditional off-season. Under the stimulus of macroeconomic policies, market expectations improved and mentality strengthened in June. However, most merchants stated that there was a price but no market, and market sales were not ideal. Especially traders, who secretly shipped more goods at a discount, and in most cases, raw materials rose, but they did not; the tube factories kept up with the increase, but the shipment was cold and scarce; Downstream merchants were more mainly wait-and-see and cautious in procurement.
Market outlook
It is expected that the price of seamless tubes will remain mainly stable with slight adjustment in the short term.
