The alloy tube is upgraded to create a refined management method


A surge in major global and domestic commodities has intensified inflationary expectations, yet during the peak season of the traditional steel market—commonly referred to as "Golden September and Silver October"—the anticipated rise in alloy pipe prices failed to materialize. Instead, key varieties remained under pressure, showing weak adjustments throughout the period.

According to data from the United Steel Network, current inventory levels for major steel products remain near record highs, with over 15 million tons in social stock. Plate products, in particular, face significant inventory pressures, such as hot-rolled coil reaching 5.25 million tons and cold-rolled coil hitting a high of 1.51 million tons in the first half of the year. Managing this excess stock remains a central challenge for the entire steel industry.

In addition, raw material prices have seen widespread increases in October. The price of Tangshan low-carbon billet rose to 3,960 yuan per ton, up by 100 yuan from the end of the previous month. Meanwhile, the price of 63.5% grade Indian iron ore climbed to 161 USD per ton, an increase of 14 USD. The Baltic Freight Index also surged to 2,784 points, up by 338 points compared to the end of last month.

MySteel Network suggests that there hasn't been a major shift in fundamentals. Although energy-saving measures and the arrival of a new round of production restrictions have led to a decline in alloy tube output, demand remains weak. Without strong supportive factors, steel prices are likely to remain in a sideways range for now.

China United Steel Network's analysis report highlights that short-term steel market fluctuations are primarily influenced by supply-demand dynamics, steel mill pricing policies, and the volatility of domestic and international commodity futures. As a result, the market is expected to continue its adjustment phase, with limited potential for fundamental changes in the near term. However, rigid cost support will help limit further downward movements.

Looking ahead, cooler weather is expected in the coming days, and northern regions have entered a low-demand season, leading to weaker demand for construction steel. At the same time, the government continues to enforce energy conservation and emission reduction policies. Many steel mills in Hebei, Henan, Anhui, and Shandong have implemented power restrictions or shutdowns, further limiting the release of construction steel. Taking all these factors into account, the domestic construction steel market may see a slight upward trend next week, or it could remain within the range of 4,100 to 4,400 yuan per ton.

The transformation of the traditional alloy tube market into a modern steel service center requires enhanced functionality, optimized structure, and industrial upgrading of the service sector. In terms of management services, the alloy tube industry should adopt refined management approaches, focusing on differentiated services and personalized support. In terms of functional improvements, basic services and living facilities must be strengthened, infrastructure support systems improved, and logistics hubs, information services, and public platforms enhanced to facilitate daily operations and create a more efficient service network. Additionally, the operational model should evolve, extending the service value chain and enriching industrial forms while innovating business models. Through guided efficiency, traditional mechanisms can be improved, and new profit drivers can be identified to achieve sustainable growth and elevate the development of the modern service industry. Finally, enhancing organizational capabilities is crucial. This involves aligning internal strengths with strategic needs, building professional skills, team control, and R&D capabilities. These elements form the core of enterprise transformation and are essential for long-term success. By strengthening learning, organizational, and innovation abilities, companies can better adapt to strategic shifts and drive continuous development.
