Today, futures prices for the black series surged significantly, but the coated and galvanized steel sheet market remained flat, with mainstream prices holding steady and some individual markets slightly declining. In the South China region, there was a slight increase in end-user inventory demand, and yesterday's market transactions showed a slight improvement compared to the previous trading day. In the northern region, affected by the weather, transactions were poor. As downstream purchasing enterprises approach the end of projects, they are mainly purchasing as needed, and there is some room for negotiation in actual transactions. It is expected that the coated and galvanized steel sheet market will continue to see slight adjustments tomorrow. In terms of steel mills, today's non-state-owned steel mill galvanized steel prices at the factory were overall stable, with Hebei cold-rolled base material factory prices stable at 4,750 yuan.
