On May 14, 2025:

The Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) visited the factory of Tsingshan Group's Disco Steel on May 2 and signed a relevant agreement. The agreement streamlines the operational processes and details for small-scale chrome ore miners in Zimbabwe, while also promoting the development of Zimbabwe's mining industry. The agreement includes the following information:

(1) Disco Steel, as the official chrome ore off-taker for small-scale chrome ore miners in Zimbabwe, supports the development of Zimbabwe's mining industry.

(2) Disco Steel, as the official machinery equipment provider for small-scale chrome ore miners in Zimbabwe, prioritizes the supply of mining equipment made from domestically produced steel in Zimbabwe, supporting the development of Zimbabwe's steel and machinery industries.

(3) Chrome ore is traded directly locally, avoiding the complex procedures required for small-scale chrome ore miners to engage in export trade. Additionally, there are virtually no payment terms, ensuring the stability of cash flow for small-scale chrome ore miners.

Before the holiday, the black chain is unlikely to see a trend-driven market [SMM Steel Industry Chain Weekly Report].

This week, ferrous metals were in the doldrums, with coking coal and coke staging a mid-week rise. At the beginning of the week, financial markets experienced sharp fluctuations, dragging down sentiment in the ferrous chain and leading to a pullback in futures. Mid-week, Indonesia's cut to coke production quotas drove coking coal and coke futures to lead the gains, though the impact was more pronounced on thermal coal, while coking coal's rise was largely sentiment-driven and short-lived. In the latter part of the week, finished products continued their seasonal inventory buildup, and support from the raw material side weakened, causing the entire ferrous chain to pull back. In the spot market, with the Chinese New Year holiday approaching, purchasing activity slowed down further, with end-users only making limited, as-needed purchases at low prices.
