Recently, the fluctuation range of rebar was increased, once fell below
the cost of blast furnace. As the overseas epidemic continues to
fermenting, the decline of domestic weekly inventory data Narrows, and
the overall weakening probability of rebar is large.
On the macro
level, the overseas epidemic continues to ferment, and its impact on
the global economy will continue. China's hot coil and its downstream
manufacturing exports are constrained, and overall steel demand is
expected to decline this year.
According to the monitoring data,
the industry, last week, building materials transaction stability,
production continued to pick up, while the rate of inventory decline is
narrowing, rebar apparent demand reached the previous level. But this
demand is mainly due to the downstream resumption of work and stocking
up, the inventory has been transferred, not really consumed, so the high
probability of demand is not sustainable, which can also be verified
according to the cement and concrete data: the national cement shipment
rate of 59.4%, the same period last year 81.6%, recovery rate of 73%;
The operation rate of mixing plants nationwide was 11.5 percent, 30
percent in the same period last year, and the recovery rate was 38
percent. Cement, concrete is commonly used with rebar, but cement and
concrete can not be placed in the site like rebar for a long time to
preserve, so their demand can really reflect the site's demand.
In
this context, the inventory is still high, coupled with weak domestic
and foreign market demand, the overall decline of rebar is relatively
large.
