China reduced steel production by 4.3%  in November

In November 2024, China’s steel companies reduced steel production by 4.3% compared to the previous month and increased by 2.5% compared to November 2023, to 78.4 million tons. It is reported by Reuters 

The average daily steel production for the month amounted to about 2.61 million tons, compared to 2.64 million tons in October and 2.54 million tons in November 2023.

The decline in steel production in November compared to the previous month was mainly due to lower margins for steelmakers due to the seasonal decline in demand and stable iron ore prices. In particular, steel consumption was affected by cold weather conditions in northern China, which halted construction work.

According to LSEG, rebar prices fell by 2.1% in November, while iron ore prices rose by 3.1% over the same period.
