Stainless steel welded pipe terminal demand is gradually released

In the first half of 2018, China's charge material market showed a weak and strong operating trend. After entering March, the prices of scrap, iron ore, billet and other raw materials fell sharply due to the fall in the price of stainless steel welded pipes. Subsequently, the demand for stainless steel welded pipe terminals was gradually released, and the imbalance between supply and demand was improved. Steel mills' profitability improved, and the enthusiasm for purchasing raw materials gradually recovered. The prices of raw materials such as scrap steel have gradually begun to fluctuate and rebound.

According to statistics, in the first half of 2018, crude steel production continued to climb. In the case of a relatively lucrative stainless steel welded pipe, the production enthusiasm of steel mills will remain high in the second half of the year.

In the first half of this year, China's economy was stable and stable. Although the investment growth rate dropped slightly, there was still significant growth, which led to the smooth release of stainless steel welded pipe demand. In the second half of the year, some compliance projects will speed up the progress, and infrastructure investment will continue to be stable. In addition, the modest increase in ship orders will drive the demand for stainless steel welded pipes in the second half of the year. In addition to the construction of the shed and the construction of related projects, the demand for stainless steel welded pipe terminals will remain stable in the second half of the year. The price of stainless steel welded pipes is expected to continue to rise, and the price of raw materials is expected to rise.

In the second half of the year, environmental protection and production restrictions in key steel producing areas such as Tangshan and Wu'an continued to strengthen. The national blue sky defense war and heating season limited production policies will boost the price of stainless steel welded pipes.
