Investment suggestion: the two sessions of the National People's Congress put forward the goal of China's GDP growth of about 5.5% in 2022. It is expected that the follow-up steady growth policy will continue to support the demand for steel. In the short term, the downstream began to resume production in an orderly manner, and the steel consumption intensity gradually increased. It is estimated that the apparent consumption of rebar this week is 3.3324 million tons, with a weekly increase of 777100 tons. On the supply side, under the background of "double carbon", the release of steel output is limited. On Friday, the output of large steel varieties decreased by 205700 tons on a weekly basis. In terms of inventory, the inflection point of social inventory appeared, and the social Treasury fell 269900 tons month on month this week. On the whole, the steady growth policy is gradually promoted, the peak consumption season is superimposed, the steel demand intensity continues to rise, the inflection point of steel inventory appears, and the focus of steel price is expected to rise.
