2065438+steel price trend in August 2005

From July 20th, for three consecutive days, the price of HPB300Ф 6.5mm ~ Ф10mm wire rod in Shenyang market rose by 50 yuan/ton to 2 160 yuan/ton. The price of HRB400Ф 8mm ~ Ф10mm rebar rose by 60 yuan/ton to 2300 yuan/ton. On July 22nd, Ф12mm ~ Ф14mm rebar rose 10 yuan/ton to 2 150 yuan/ton. Steel traders said that the price increase was mainly driven by the general increase in the price of construction steel in the country, which was a general environmental increase, but the downward pressure on the price of construction steel in Liaoning could not be alleviated in a short time. The main reasons are as follows: deep processing of stainless steel, copper and strip steel, stainless steel, iron alloy, electrolytic aluminum, bridge steel and steel enterprises are affected by the weather. Since the beginning of July, Liaoning Province has been suffering from high temperature and little rain, and the drought has developed rapidly. As of July 19, the drought-affected area of crops in Liaoning province reached 1725 1400 mu, including light drought 1 138580 mu, heavy drought of 4998 100 mu and drought of 867500 mu. During the solar term in long summer, there were showers and thunderstorms in some parts of Liaoning Province recently, but the drought could not be solved at all. Moreover, the continuous high temperature above 30 degrees Celsius has a great influence on the outdoor construction progress, which directly weakens the consumption of building steel.
