From the fourth quarter of 2020,
China's steel prices of galvanized steel coils have continued to hit new highs
in recent years, especially the price increases crazily in December.
The recent increase in prices of galvanized steel coils has also surprised
steel mills. Considering that raw material prices and spot market prices
exceeded futures order prices, the second price adjustment was released after
the first one had been just released, and the adjustment range was
significantly higher than the first time.
According to data released by China’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the
output of home appliances and automobiles showed an increasing trend this
November, which was driving the demand for steel. After the rapid rise in steel
price, there hasn’t been a significant decline so far.
