With regard to Rio Tinto rumors, specific reasons, or because the pb block was affected by the previous hurricane, quality problems, resulting in the next two months may not be able to deliver the long trade agreement (that is, the small-long association of some steel mills), so Rio Tinto will cancel the July and August small-long agreement, and delay delivery, and may also reduce the amount of spot investment.
