In terms of market: Since the beginning of November, the price of raw material billet has been rising by about 210RMB/ton due to resource constraints. The tube factory has a strong trend of rising, and the price has risen by about 150RMB/ton. However, the demand in the winter market is limited, and the enthusiasm for downstream procurement is not high. Recently, the seamless pipe transaction is not optimistic, and the merchants are generally not optimistic about the later market.
Market outlook
Seamless tube analysts from SunSirs believe that although raw materials are rising, but demand is light, merchants are not willing to raise prices, and prices are mostly stable. It is expected that the short-term seamless tube market will be dominated by small and medium-sized adjustment.
