Prices of welded pipe decreased sharply this month as prices of raw materials such as steel billet and HR strip kept decreasing
. In addition, the demand from downstream customers was soft and customers held a wait-and-see attitude towards the coming market . The market transaction was flat, so traders were eager to make deals as many as possible . Since the government announced that there would be no positive news for the steel market and the market needed to recover by itself, participants were pessimistic about the coming market . There are few big mills with plan of major overhaul at present, thus it may need quite a long time to reduce the pressure of oversupply . In view of that, insiders think the price is likely to go down further next month but may fluctuate as it decreased too much this month.
