Customs data showed exports of steel rod fell more than any other types of steel products since mid-2016. China’s steel rod exports were 665,100 tonnes in June, down 81.9% year-on-year, and totaled 5.93 million tonnes in H1, down 66.82% year-on-year.

Even if export duty is abolished immediately, steel exports will get limited boost in the short term, SMM understands. This is because positive domestic demand and high domestic profit mean companies will prefer domestic sales than exports, SMM explained.

Peru sees 1 million t/y copper output boost within five to six years

Peru's Energy and Mines Minister Guillermo Shinno said the country expects to add about 1 million tonnes of annual copper production within five to six years through new mining projects. The world's third-largest copper producer anticipates 2026 output of 2.5 to 2.7 million tonnes, roughly unchanged from 2023 as declining ore grades and recurring social conflicts weigh on supply.
