      The market volume of large-diameter seamless steel pipe has decreased compared with the previous period, and the turnover of rolled billet enterprises has also been stopped. The demand for billet market is not large, so the price is difficult to continue to rise. This week, the pipe was weak and difficult to stop, with a drop of 20-100 yuan/ton, and the turnover was sluggish. The raw materials are low, the finished products are weak, the market demand is still sluggish, and the pipe price reappears. At present, the entire steel market is in a state of overcapacity, output growth, deceleration in demand, low price and low profit. However, the recent weak operation of raw materials has brought a heavy blow to the entire steel market, and the demand for large-diameter seamless steel pipe market has been hindered. Affected by the weather, terminal procurement demand is sluggish and shipments are falling. Since last year, the merchants have stored a small amount of winter goods, while the tube factory still produces a large amount of production capacity. The contradiction between supply and demand still exists, and each merchant has a wait-and-see attitude toward the market outlook. In addition to the Spring Festival, most of the construction sites have been shut down, and the downstream has slowed down the pace of procurement. It is very unfavorable for digesting stocks. Recently, the factory is also affected by environmental protection, and the price is difficult to pick up in the short term. The weakness of the pipe is still the same, in which the mainstream of welded pipes is stable, and the mainstream market of seamless pipes is slightly down, with a drop of 10-20 yuan/ton. For welded pipes, the main reasons for maintaining stable shipments this week are: 1. Under the influence of environmental protection pressure, the northern pipe factory stopped production and reduced production, and the market inventory was alleviated. 2. Each bank is affected by the pressure of funds. Simply adjusting the price will only make it lose more, but it is unable to drive the market demand and disrupt the market quotation. Therefore, the merchants are more willing to maintain stable shipments and lower the preferential price. For the seamless pipe, although the pipe blank is low, considering that the current seamless pipe price has fallen to the bottom, for the merchants, the basic profit has been at hand, and some high-level stocks are highlighted, which is only necessary to dilute the inventory. Some pipe prices stimulate downstream purchases, while some common specifications offer stable shipments. Merchants have said that it is difficult to adjust the price again before the holiday, because the large-diameter seamless steel pipe businesses are currently closed more frequently, just to use this period to maintain the price. It is expected that the pipe market will continue to be weak next week, with a drop of around RMB 30/ton. The low level of raw materials rebounded slightly, although the increase was not very high, but it played a strong role in the finished steel mills; however, most mainstream pipe plants did not intend to follow up, on the one hand, the end of the year, downstream and traders no longer get goods, stock release limited. On the other hand, the macro-face is not good, and the factors such as capital and mentality are constrained. It is difficult for the finished products to improve; the manufacturers are more willing to take the low position.
