On the evening of April 11, Meijin Energy announced the termination of a major asset restructuring plan. This undoubtedly poured cold water on investors who were expecting the company to further consolidate its coal and coke business and strengthen the layout of the "coal-coke-gas-chemical-hydrogen" entire industry chain.

On October 9, 2024, Meijin Energy announced that the company planned to acquire a 51% stake in Jinyuan Mine held by Meijin Group, a 49% stake in Zhengwang Mining held by Shanxi Hongchi, and a 49% stake in Zhengcheng Mining held by Shanxi Suyang through the issuance of shares.

At that time, the company stated that the transaction would help consolidate its position in the industry, enhance its core competitiveness, and achieve the integration and strengthening of the "coal-coke-gas-chemical-hydrogen" integrated industry chain.

Regarding the shelving of the restructuring, Meijin Energy stated that due to the failure of the parties involved to reach an agreement on relevant commercial terms, the decision to terminate the transaction was made after thorough and prudent research and friendly consultation.

[SMM Steel] Indonesian Slab Prices Hold Steady, Market Awaits Next Signal

[Indonesia] After a week of market movement in slab prices, prices are now holding steady at 480 USD/ton FOB. This is because, although demand has actually been increasing, some buyers remain in a wait-and-see mode. On one hand, some buyers are waiting for pricing cues from Vietnamese mills; on the other, some are watching Chinese futures prices. If clear direction emerges from either side, the market could start moving again — particularly if Chinese futures prices rise, which could prompt buyers to take long positions. For now, futures prices have dipped slightly, and the market continues to await further updates.

[SMM Steel] Shipping Bottlenecks and Geopolitical Risks Tighten Iranian Semi-Finished Steel Export Trade

[Iran] The Iranian semi-finished steel market has recently shown a distinct divergence between domestic and export sectors. In the billet segment, export trading remained subdued due to shipping constraints, heightened maritime risks, and cooling regional demand, with export offers softening to 410–415 USD/tonne FOB and concluded transactions limited mostly to 10,000–15,000-tonne barge consignments or small regional lots; by contrast, the domestic market performed strongly, buoyed by the sharp depreciation of the local currency and summer power shortages. In the slab segment, export quotes edged down slightly to 420 USD/tonne FOB; however, severe geopolitical risks, strict compliance scrutiny by shipowners, and the necessity to reroute shipments via Oman or the UAE significantly inflated logistical costs and fulfillment uncertainty, sending overseas buying interest to freezing point and leaving the market devoid of major deals.
