Supported by the low market inventory as well as higher ex-works prices, prices of section steel in some markets showed an upward trend this month
. However, downstream demand remained unreleased and the sales performance for most domestic buyers was not satisfying . Therefore, prices in some markets didn’t go up and even demonstrated a downward trend . Market participants will have a seven-day Spring Festival holiday starting at the end of January . The market of section steel will be half-closed one or two weeks before the Chinese Lunar New Year and traders are unlikely to adjust offers seeing the departure of customers . Insiders believe market prices will be stable next month considering the limited transaction days in January.
