The northern region as a whole is weak and stable, among which the bottom of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei is stable, leading enterprises are planning to increase but the demand support is insufficient, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia are weak and stable with high inventory pressure; under the continuous high inventory pressure in Northeast China, the price still has downward space; the northwest is stable and weak, the competition in Shaanxi is fierce, and the recovery of Xinjiang is lack of momentum. The southern region was deadlocked at a low level, among which the eastern region was stable and small, bright and dark, the Yangtze River Delta declined sporadically, and the supply of Shandong kilns ended with the risk of falling; the central and southern region continued to be weak and stable, Guangdong and Guangxi pushed up and loosened, the two lakes were deadlocked at a low level, and Henan pushed up and was difficult to fall; the southwest was under pressure and weakened, and prices in many places were lowered. Overall, the current market demand side has not improved, inventory digestion is slow, prices lack effective support, and the national cement market will remain weak in the short term.
