Black commodity ice and fire two days, coke rebounded sharply, and the early strong iron ore was abandoned by 1.5 billion funds, intraday once fell to 856yuan / ton, closed slightly back up. Today, the market frenzied regulators visited Yongan futures research, resulting in its control of iron ore, PTA plummeted, PTA sealed limit. Iron ore high today's sharp decline is mainly due to prices rose to more than 900 high, the market fear of higher sentiment, long funds are also more cautious, a little bad news disturbance will lead to a large number of early long positions out of the market and the influx of funds to short. However, after the market, a reporter asked Yongan for confirmation, the other side clear response, there is no supervision to investigate the situation in the near future, tomorrow the market is more likely to stop falling and stabilize.

Australia Reviews Anti-Dumping Duties on Galvanized Steel from India, Malaysia, Vietnam Amid Zinc Concerns
On September 9, 2026, Australia initiated its second sunset review of anti-dumping measures on galvanized steel sheet from India, Malaysia and Vietnam, and separately launched a sunset review of countervailing measures on imports from India. The review covers July 2025-June 2026, with the final report expected by February 11, 2027. As galvanized steel is the largest end-use sector for zinc, the measures directly affect export costs and competitiveness, potentially impacting Australia’s domestic zinc demand and supply chain. Maintaining the duties would provide some protection for domestic steel and coating capacity, while termination could increase low-priced imports and affect regional zinc consumption. The final outcome remains subject to the authorities’ determination.
