Yuan/tonWuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and other companies are under great pressure to reduce prices.
today, they enter the order cycle. From the order situation of steel mills last month fed back by market merchants, the unsaturated order volume shows that the market is still difficult to accept the high order cost. The fact that steel mills are looking for large state-owned households to sign orders may also indicate that the inventory in the plant is still to be digested. The market is expected to lower the futures price policy of WISCO in May, with a specific range of yuan/ton
