A reported published by China Iron & Steel Association suggested, the demand in steel market will keep increasing. However, the steel market will also face many uncertain factors, such as the unclear future of international economy, the great pressure of the falling export demand and the problem of over capacity in China, etc., and the steel market will still face the situation of fluctuation and adjustment. The adjustment this time can be considered swift and fierce. The crazy increase of steel price in July just passed, and in the beginning of Aug. the market started to display the exhausted situation, and finally in the second week of Aug. there was a complete adjustment that has been expected for a long time, but it was unexpectedly fierce. The analysis shows that in the week before last week, the steel price was in the situation that the market, steel plants and the futures boost each other. While it evolved into the great drop of futures and the continuous drop of the market price of actuals, and some of steel plants increased the price. In the environment of the market fluctuation, the mood of the traders has changed. At present, the traders have strong sense to clear, thereby, it push the drop of market price.
