Procurement Strike Zone
- Long-product buyers (rebar/wire rod): Mild upward pressure supports a short-window buy for immediate tender requirements. - Flat-product buyers (HRC/cold rolled): Prices are stable; prioritize freight hedging and consider staged delivery over spot accumulation. - Industrial steel buyers (alloy/rail): Divergent moves require selective action—consider advancing 40Cr purchases while monitoring rail price decay.
