Its maximum sustained wind speed near the center was 8 on the Beaufort scale (20 m/s). The typhoon is forecast to move rapidly west-northwest at a speed of 30-35 kilometers per hour, with its intensity gradually strengthening. It is expected to enter the northeastern waters of the South China Sea from the night of July 24 to the early morning of July 25, and will bring severe wind and rainfall impacts to Guangdong Province over the coming days. In view of the current situation, the Guangdong Provincial Hydrological Bureau activated the Level IV emergency response for typhoon-related hydrological monitoring and reporting at 9:00 a.m. on July 24. At present, hydrological departments at all levels across the province are strictly implementing the "456" hydrological warning mechanism, closely monitoring typhoon movements and changes in rainfall and water conditions, strengthening hydrological monitoring and water regime consultations, issuing rolling forecasts, warnings, and risk alerts in a timely manner, and making every effort to implement all measures for typhoon, rainstorm, and flood defense and response.

[SMM Steel] 7.24 SMM Global Steel Daily Report

[Brazil] Major-customer bankruptcy triggers spot liquidation; Brazilian HDG prices under pressure This week domestic hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel prices in Brazil came under downward pressure. The decline was primarily driven by a key client of a major local mill filing for bankruptcy liquidation, creating receivables risks that prompted the steelmaker to liquidate inventory at discounted spot prices to accelerate cash recovery. However, backed by robust automotive demand, quotes from other mainstream mills held firm. Hot-rolled coil ex-works prices stabilized at 750-760USD/tonne EXW, as high interest rates and tight credit conditions continued to suppress downstream purchasing sentiment. In the slab market, mills prioritized internal consumption for September shipments, keeping export offers steady at 580-585 USD/tonne FOB.
