[Steel Market] The operation of the steel industry in the first half of 2020 of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that in June, the output of crude steel and steel products in China were 91.58 million tons and 115.85 million tons, respectively, with a year-on-year increase of 4.5% and 7.5%; from January to June, the output of crude steel and steel was 499 million tons and 606 million tons, respectively, with a year-on-year increase of 1.4% and 2.7%. After the sales volume of rebar reached a record high in the second quarter, the recent high temperature and rain weather led to the suspension of many projects and the steel market demand weakened. However, with the end of the rainy season, the demand and the steel mill operating rate rebounded. Under the influence of high iron ore prices, the rebar prices are expected to enter a consolidation state, which is easy to rise but difficult to fall.
