Last week, the mainstream domestic scrap steel market was stable and adjusted individually.

Entering February, scrap steel processing and distribution companies have been on holidays one after another, and the market is in a half-closed state. As the Spring Festival approaches and the prices of finished products continue to fall, the profits of steel mills are squeezed, independent electric arc furnace steel mills are not enthusiastic about production, and demand for scrap steel is gradually decreasing. A few steel mills take precautions to prepare for production after the Spring Festival; long-process steel mills before the Spring Festival The scrap steel reserves are sufficient, and the material preparation can be used for 20 to 30 days. During the Spring Festival, steelmaking production continues, but individual steel companies suspend the collection of materials for 3 to 7 days. Industry insiders predict that the scrap steel market will operate stably in the near future, and the number of steel mills will be limited.
