本周包头方管市场价格震荡调整，受宏观经济调控的明显影响，上周末市场涨价心态萎靡。周初开市，因期螺低走，钢坯持续下跌，所以包头等周边外围方管市 场价格小幅下跌，商户谨慎操作，采购需求较弱，市场状态无力，周中期，期螺波动能够吃力上涨，钢坯小幅上涨，给商户留有一定的利润空间，根据市场部分钢厂 资源货少价格偏高，但标准规格货小幅下跌，市场报价混乱但可控，整体出货一般，但是周三夜盘稳步上涨，给市场一定信心。周后期，市场报价大幅上涨，期螺走 强提振市场，成交转好，本周库存消耗明显，包头方管市场库存总量24.49万吨，环比上周降6.48%，同比去年涨18.65%。本周包头方管市场价格盘整下行，整体出货有所好转，价格累涨后趋于稳定运行。

This week, Baotou managed to adjust the market price fluctuation, which was obviously affected by macroeconomic regulation and control. Last weekend, the market was depressed by price rises. At the beginning of the week, due to the low price of futures and the continuous decline of billets, the market price of peripheral square tubes around Baotou and other enterprises dropped slightly. Businessmen operated cautiously, purchasing demand was weak, market condition was weak. In the mid-week, futures fluctuation could rise hard, billets rose slightly, leaving some profit margins for businessmen. According to the market, the prices of resources and goods in some steel plants were relatively low, but the standard regulations were on the high side. Prices fell slightly, market quotations were chaotic but controllable, and overall shipments were general, but the market rose steadily on Wednesday night, giving the market some confidence. Later in the week, market quotations rose sharply, snails strengthened to boost the market and turnover turned better. Inventory consumption was obvious this week. Total inventory of Baotou Fangguan market was 244,900 tons, which was 6.48% lower than last week and 18.65% higher than last year. This week, Baotou took charge of the market price consolidation downward, the overall shipment improved, and the price tended to stabilize after a cumulative rise. 综合来看，本周包头方管市场价格先抑后扬，中美贸易战形势跌宕起伏的作用下市场尽力维持生态平衡。目前看供给大幅走弱的可能性非常低，而中美贸易战短期也充满了各种不确定性，因此，预计下周包头方管市场价格将震荡下行调整。

To sum up, Baotou managed to control market prices first and then rise this week. Under the influence of the ups and downs of the Sino-US trade war, the market tried its best to maintain ecological balance. At present, the possibility of a substantial weakening of supply is very low, and the short-term Sino-US trade war is also full of uncertainties. Therefore, it is expected that Baotou will adjust its market prices in a turbulent downward direction next week.
