In June in line with the expected level of sales index rose to 17% in July on expectations of market demand for flat in June.
Positive changes in favor of this month there is a heavy equipment manufacturer is expected orders from the metallurgical industry improvement, we are part of research in June loader manufacturers have indicated their continued better-than-expected sales and expected degree of the whole year is expected to boom after the previous low high.
Standard Machine Works, said demand is still weak and heavy machine tool manufacturers that from the lower reaches of the needs of the automotive industry continues to improve, while wind power, hydropower and other energy equipment manufacturing enterprises to maintain the stability of machine tool orders, but orders for shipbuilding industry is still no improvement.
Most of the enterprises said that the beginning of this year to complete the development of the annual plan, but this year sales will be lower than last year. While external demand chain but also improved significantly less than domestic demand. Part of the respondents said the cost increases the capacity of weak conduction, it is more likely to digest their own costs as far as possible, so if steel prices rose their profit margins will be squeezed.
