In April 2025, under the interwoven influence of factors such as the continuous pressure of Trump's tariff policy, the strong expectation of domestic macro stimulus, 

the high-level release of steel industry output, and the slight decline in costs, the domestic steel market continued to show a volatile and downward trend. According 

to the monitoring data of Lang Steel Network, as of the end of April, the national comprehensive steel price of Lang Steel was 3,585 yuan per ton, a decrease of 39 yuan 

per ton compared with the same period of the previous month, with a month-on-month decline of 1.1% and a year-on-year decline of 11.2%. In terms of the monthly average, 

in April, the national average comprehensive price of steel of Lang Steel was 3,569 yuan per ton, a decrease of 64 yuan per ton compared with the previous month, representing 

a decline of 1.8%.

Looking ahead to May, the domestic steel market will still be affected by multiple factors. The tariff game between China and the United States will continue to disturb market sentiment. 

The domestic incremental reserve policy and the strengthening of extraordinary counter-cyclical regulation are expected to continuously release countermeasures against external shocks. 

The recent news of crude steel production control will have a positive impact on the market, but its sustainability requires enterprises to truly implement production cuts. In May, as the seasonal 

demand in the south gradually shifts to the off-season, the market demand for construction steel may slow down somewhat, and the pressure on export demand will also gradually emerge. 

The social inventory speed of steel will slow down, and the contradiction between supply and demand in the market may gradually emerge. Coupled with the continued weakening of cost support, 

the Langer Steel Big Data AI-assisted Decision-making system predicts that It is expected that the domestic steel market will show a trend of rising first and then falling in May 2025.
