Pipe factory: The price of seamless pipes in the pipe factory has generally increased by 50-100 yuan / ton this week. After the pipe plant in Linyi area was raised, it was temporarily stabilized until the market digested it. At the same time, it stimulated the speed of the early contract delivery. In addition, the 89/108 series seamless pipes in Linyi area are short of specifications due to the tight supply of billet, which is expected to be relieved in about 5 days.

3. Future market forecast

With the rise of tube billets and tube plants, the seamless tube market rose slightly, but the market demand for transactions was flat. At present, the inventory pressure of the pipe factory is still relatively large, and traders are still more cautious in taking the goods, worrying about the price decline in the later period. It is expected that short-term seamless tube market prices will maintain stability during the two sessions.
