. Last week, the northern market was mostly in the state of off-peak kiln shutdown, the market demand was basically over, some regions increased, and the overall cement price was mainly stable. Generally speaking, the national cement price continues to be weak.

3. Involving two concrete cases! The General Administration of Market Supervision released the third batch of typical cases of the special anti-monopoly law enforcement action in the field of people's livelihood in 2023!

Commercial concrete is closely related to people's production and life. The practice of fixing or changing commodity prices, restricting the production quantity of commodities and dividing the sales market by the enterprises involved hinders the normal functioning of the market price mechanism, excludes and restricts market competition, and restricts the right of users to freely agree on commodity trading prices. The investigation and punishment of this case restored the market order of fair competition and effectively safeguarded the interests of downstream enterprises and consumers.
