【Galvanized Steel Market】According to SMM, persistent hot and rainy weather continued to weigh on outdoor construction activities across China, resulting in weak domestic galvanized steel orders throughout July. Meanwhile, anti-dumping measures and ongoing geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran continued to affect export orders, keeping domestic galvanized steel operating rates at relatively low levels during the month.
