Steel price rising
Futures market analysis
Following the slight adjustment of last night trading,the steel opened today has a shock rising trend.From a technical point of view,the rising pattern of steel has not changed.In theory,steel prices have room to rise.In strong commodities,the price rises and then rises,and even there is no decent callback.The excessive increase is never the reason for the decline.
Since the rising normal has continued,the judgment of the rise will not change.
