[SMM Steel] The Australian Anti-Dumping Commission is assessing whether to launch an anti-dumping investigation into galvanized steel imports from Vietnam and South Korea, covering HS codes 7210.49.00, 7212.30.00, 7225.92.00, and 7226.99.00. A decision is expected by April 20, 2026. In the short term, the review may create uncertainty for Vietnamese exporters and slow shipments as companies prepare data and response strategies.

[SMM Steel] Peru has imposed a five-year anti-dumping duty of $81.3/mt on wire rod imports from China, following a final affirmative ruling. The duty replaces a temporary rate of $64.6/mt and takes effect immediately. In the short term, the measure is expected to restrict Chinese wire rod inflows and support local market pricing.

[SMM Steel] JSW Steel reported record crude steel production of 30.14 million tons in FY26, up 8% YoY, with capacity utilization reaching ~92% (ex-BF-3). Q4 output stood at 7.49 million tons.
