According to statistics, in June, domestic steel prices showed a slight adjustment of the overall situation.

China Steel Association believes that, as countries continue to implement tight monetary policy, some enterprises have the capital shortages, especially steel trading business by selling financial impact of even a phenomenon. As steel prices continue to rise, part of the user was watching the situation to be purchased. As the raw materials and fuel prices, electricity, transportation, the state has increased tension and eliminate backward production capacity and other factors, the latter part of China's steel production will continue to maintain low growth. In the second half, snow, earthquake reconstruction of infrastructure and housing, will increase the demand for steel. Slowdown in steel production, steel demand will not significantly weaken the domestic balance of supply and demand situation will not change. Increase in the demand-pull and cost of the dual role, the latter part of the domestic market is expected to remain high steel prices will continue to trend, but different species, different times may be slight fluctuations.
