SMM Daily Review on Domestic Iron Ore:
The domestic ore market in western Liaoning saw limited transactions, but local leading steel mills showed a strong desire to bargain down prices. The ex-factory price for 66-grade wet basis, excluding tax, was 690-700 yuan/mt. Traders maintained low offers in inquiries, while sellers, considering production costs, largely did not accept the low offers from traders. However, some sellers, due to cash flow considerations, showed a willingness to follow market trends. Overall, under the current steel mill profits, steel mills mainly adopt a purchasing-as-needed approach. Coupled with the recent downward fluctuation in iron ore futures, market confidence remains weak. It is expected that local iron ore concentrate prices will fluctuate downward in the short term. 【SMM Steel】

【JFE Steel inicia o primeiro forno de coque de grande porte com carregamento por compactação do Japão.】
A JFE Steel iniciou as operações de seu recém-construído Forno de Coque nº 6 na área de Fukuyama de sua Usina West Japan em 31 de agosto de 2026. O projeto foi construído entre maio de 2023 e agosto de 2026 com um investimento de aproximadamente JPY 45 bilhões e tem uma capacidade anual de produção de coque de cerca de 420.000 toneladas. A instalação é o primeiro forno de coque de grande escala do Japão a adotar o método de carregamento por compactação. Ao contrário do carregamento superior convencional, o processo compacta o pó de carvão antes de empurrá-lo horizontalmente para dentro do forno. De acordo com o artigo fornecido, o novo design melhora a eficiência da produção e reduz os custos operacionais por meio de melhor qualidade do coque.
