The demand for stainless steel welded pipe has not really started. The market has a high expectation for the investment in infrastructure in the later stage

The local and surrounding environmental protection policies continue to be strengthened, stimulating the hype in the stainless steel welded pipe market, adding that the blast furnace operating rate of the steel plant has declined compared with that of the year before, the various types and specifications of stainless steel welded pipe are in short supply, and manufacturers mainly sell them at high prices. The current increase in cost pressure has led to a less optimistic billet profit. Therefore, under the rising trend of the overall environment, the billet factory has a strong desire to raise the price. Liaocheng Steel Pipe Spot Network comprehensively predicts that the price of Tangshan billet will be stronger tomorrow.

Today, futures were generally higher, and the national finished goods spot was generally higher and stronger. Recently, overseas oil prices have risen, major domestic projects have been started in many places, and some electric furnace steel plants have not yet resumed work. And affected by the production limit of the Winter Olympic Games, some steel plants are now reducing production to varying degrees, and the market mentality is stimulated, which has led to a sharp rise in futures spot prices. However, the recent large-scale rainfall and snowfall across the country affected the recovery of the demand for stainless steel welded pipe, and the coke spot increased and decreased. It is suggested that businesses with more goods should reduce their positions in an appropriate amount in case of rising prices, and wait and see if they have less goods.

In terms of supply and demand, the first quarter's output is estimated to be in March; From the perspective of table demand, the table demand is high due to the low output and low inventory of stainless steel welded pipe; From the perspective of year-on-year consumption, there will be a gradual recovery process after the middle and late February, but the speed will not be too fast.
