Experts state that the contradiction between supply and demand has decreased recently and market confidence has increased. In an environment where spot stocks have decreased slightly and raw material prices have increased, there is also strong support on the cost side. Stocks are expected to be replenished as the May 1 holiday approaches. Therefore, experts predict that HRC prices may continue to fluctuate tomorrow.
