Macro positive news had boosted the overall market sentiment, with seamless tube factory inventory decreasing compared to last week. The market's mentality of buying up rather than falling had slightly emerged. The northern region had gradually entered the heating season, and tube factories had increased their discount efforts to catch up with the annual target progress. However, under the constraints of weak demand, steel traders still had a cautious attitude.

Market outlook

The game between policy and demand had been strengthened, and under the effect of cost support, it is expected that the domestic seamless tube market prices will remain stable and tend to be stronger next week.
