Around the Spring Festival may be the time window for the second decline in steel prices

The Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year, can be a time window when the steel industry experiences a potential second decline in prices. The Spring Festival is a major holiday in China and is typically accompanied by a slowdown in economic activity, including construction and manufacturing.

During this period, demand for steel products may decrease as many businesses and factories in China shut down or operate at reduced capacity. This reduced demand can put downward pressure on steel prices.

Additionally, the Spring Festival often coincides with a seasonal lull in construction and infrastructure projects, further impacting steel demand. As a result, steel producers may face challenges in maintaining sales volumes and profitability during this period.

It's important to note that the impact of the Spring Festival on steel prices may vary from year to year and can be influenced by factors such as global economic conditions, government policies, and supply-demand dynamics in the steel market. Steel companies closely monitor market trends around the Spring Festival and adjust their strategies accordingly to navigate potential price declines and manage their operations effectively.
