Steel stocks surge in the September 4th session.
The upward momentum in the steel sector was bolstered by several positive developments in the regional market. The downward pressure on prices from Chinese steel abated thanks to the Chinese government’s resolute implementation of production cuts. In July, steel production in China decreased by 4% year-on-year, and since the beginning of the year, production has dropped by 3%.
The cooling of Chinese steel prices has become a significant catalyst for the domestic steel industry. Coupled with this, the second half of the year is typically a peak consumption period as real estate supply improves and public investment disbursement accelerates, further boosting expectations for a sector-wide recovery.
