"SMM Steel Industry chain Weekly report" released, the weekly report SMM will select one of the hot topics, prices, market or major changes in the industry chain information released into a document for your reference.

 

The current prices of hot rolls this week have all continued their downward trend. Mainly due to the sharp decline in the outer disk and tension in relations across the Taiwan Strait at the beginning of the week, black commodities fell as a whole, and iron ore led the decline, dragging down the hot rolls. Market trading sentiment is not as expected, cautious wait-and-see mood is strong, causing hot volume spot prices to weaken sharply. Subsequently, market panic, boosted by tighter production restrictions on environmental protection in Tangshan and replenishment by cash companies, gradually calmed down, traders' shipments picked up slightly, and spot prices also showed a stabilizing trend.

The trend of the current market during the threaded period this week is weak. However, the futures market is affected by industrial news (such as production restrictions in Tangshan and coordinated production cuts in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, etc.) and the periphery (such as the stock market), while the spot market is falling in anticipation of a snail, and replenishment is less than expected before the festival. shrouded by cautious short sentiment, merchants take active shipping as the main "task", and prices are weakening all the way.

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.
