2. Forecast
of the price trend of steel, cement and sand in August The main factors supporting the price rise of steel, cement and sand in August are as follows: First, the price rise of raw materials such as iron ore and coke plays a supporting role in the cost side. Second, steel mills in some provinces have recently been notified of "flat control", and the steel supply side in Jiangxi Province has also been tightened. The main factors restraining the price rise of steel, cement and sand in August are as follows: First, the hot weather in August is the traditional construction off-season, and the demand side is weak. Second, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates again at the end of last month, dragging down steel prices. Therefore, we expect steel prices to show a trend of shock adjustment in August. Since
this year, the recovery of the real estate industry has been slow, and the recovery process is far from being transmitted to the construction side. Therefore, we expect that the price of cement will continue to decline and the price of sand and gravel will remain stable.
