Along with the prices upward in the domestic market , some major steeel mills including Baosteel will raise the price in February next year. The confidence of the steel mill to the market has led to the warming of the market. A person has revealed to the reporter that the enthusiasm for hoarding goods of the intermediate has increased ,at the same time the storage of the market is reduced. But some experts also pointed out that the supply of resources in the steel mills was not enough and the current market prices is "measurelessly space up" . whether the the steel mill can continue is still needed to observe.

       According to the reporter, the price of the steel mill is declining 5 times since August. The hot products are increasing by 100 RMB to 200 RMB per ton，while the cool products are increasing by 300 RMB per ton. The plated Zinc products are increasing by 340 RMB to 250 RMB. The daubed products are increasing largely by 450 RMB.

       Some products are out of stock in the case of short supply. The manager of the Consultation Department of Lange Steel Research Center, Li,Ma said that some steel trader began to purchase some steel to store.

      A steel trader from Tianjin said that “ Many steel trader including me has began to store up products because some products are hard to purchase.”

      The average price of 5.5 mm hot casting coil plank is reaching 3666 RMB in ten cities, increasing by 117 RMB compared to last week, increasing by 274 RMB compared to last month.

Li Ma expressed his anxiety : “ Accompanied by an increase of the supply in the market, the 'measureless air up' weak balance will be broken.  China's current steel production has been used for a large part of exports. If the exports continue to decline next year, the iron and steel industry will face a very grim situation.
