[Building Materials Transactions Jump 44% in a Single Day, Suspicion Remains on the Sustainability of the Demand Pulse] ⑴ On Tuesday, the national building materials transaction volume reached 97,900 tons, a significant increase of 44.2% compared to the previous trading day, representing a notable surge in volume recently and ending the previous three-day decline. ⑵ The transaction pace had been consistently weak, with Friday's volume at 67,900 tons, Thursday's at 74,700 tons, and Wednesday's at 83,800 tons, showing a gradual decline. Tuesday's rebound to near last week's average of 90,000 tons reflects a temporary recovery in end-user purchasing intentions. ⑶ Last week's single-day peak occurred on July 8th at 104,600 tons, followed by a continuous decline to Monday's low of 67,900 tons. Although Tuesday's rebound was strong, the absolute volume still did not break through the 100,000-ton mark, and its strength needs further confirmation. ⑷ From a week-on-week perspective, after a sharp drop of 9% on Monday, Tuesday saw a jump of 44.2%, with significantly amplified intraday volatility. This rapid rise and fall in transaction volume usually indicates unstable market sentiment and intensified competition between traders and end-users. (5) The focus of attention in the future is whether this surge in volume can continue. If the transaction volume stabilizes above 100,000 tons in the following days, it may indicate a substantial recovery in the willingness of downstream construction sites to purchase goods. Conversely, if it falls again, Tuesday's rebound may only be a restocking behavior after a sharp drop.
