In the spot market, East and South China mainly experienced stagnation and consolidation.

The intense supply-demand contradiction in the industry persists, with many holders taking a wait-and-see approach and continuing to be bearish. Downstream demand for immediate purchases shows no improvement, and trading remains sluggish.
