The modest rebound in steel production through mid-October has failed to lift steel prices, which have remained on a downtrend since the start of the month, mostly due to sluggish demand, market participants said.
Domestic rebar and hot rolled coil prices both fell 2% from Oct. 8 to Yuan 5,875/mt and Yuan 5,740/mt, respectively, Oct. 12.
Some traders in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou said construction steel demand in September and October turned out to be weaker than a year earlier, and any further improvement in demand in Q4 was expected to be limited by a slowdown in the property sector.
China has tightened credit to the property sector since late 2020 in a move aimed at deleveraging the sector, which led to a 3.2% year-on-year decline in property new home starts over January-August.
Some flat steel traders said demand from the manufacturing sector had been battered since September by both the power rationing and soaring commodity prices and steel production could remain lower than a year ago throughout Q4, while the outlook for steel demand was similar.
However, while steel output cuts in northern China will continue until March 15 next year under a "winter output cuts" program aimed at reducing winter smog, mills in other parts of the country are expected to return to normal production levels in December or January once their output cut requirements for 2021 have been met, sources said.

You must understand, steel stocks may or may not rise. However what is proven time and time again is that the steel sector is highly cyclical and subject to one-offs. All the institutional Domestic and Foreign funds know this (these are all large and long-term funds, who essentially determines the share price)

In fact, with all the other travel and tourism stocks closing due to the pandemic, Genting's attractions in Genting Highlands, US & Bahamas, UK & Egypt will be that much more attractive - as the aphorism goes, 'what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger'.
