Robust demand extended decline in China HRC inventories

Inventories of hot-rolled coils of steel sheets used to produce home appliances and cars in China fell for an eighth straight week this week, as demand remained robust. SMM data showed that HRC stocks across social warehouses and steelmakers decreased 2.31% in the week ended May 7 to 4.45 million mt. That was smaller than a 4.6% fall in the previous week due to the Labour Day holiday and improved arrivals.
