As the market opened today, the quotations of various merchants in the Xi'an
building steel materials market steadily became stronger, and the market transactions increased slightly. Affected by the increase in the ex-factory listing price of Shanxi and other steel mills yesterday, the price of building materials resources in most Shanxi areas in the local market showed signs of a slight increase, but the market transaction did not show a significant rise. It is understood that due to the high listed prices of building materials in various steel plants, most merchants have a slight upside down in their recent shipments. In response to this, local merchants said that in view of the limited operational resources in the hands of merchants and the high cost of receiving goods from passive storage resources, driven by Zhoutian Shanxi Steel Plant’s increase in the listing price, merchants followed suit to reduce losses. . However, after the price increase, the market transactions did not appear to be heavy.
On the whole, affected by the weak market transactions, the market price of Xi'an construction steel materials will be in a slight consolidation situation in the short term.
