During the given week, CRC traders have been willing to sell at lower prices in order to stimulate transaction activities. Since the weather is getting hotter, activity is expected to slacken on construction sites. In June, demand from the home appliance and automobile industries will likely slow down, reducing support for CRC prices in the local spot market. However, more domestic steelmakers will carry out maintenance work on their cold rolled production lines in June, which will negatively affect output and thereby provide some support for CRC prices. It is expected that CRC prices in the Chinese domestic market will move on a stable trend in the coming week.
