Zhonghong: Index steel mills have strong willingness to raise prices. In November, the three major steel products all rose by 900 yuan.

Zhonghong announced the price for domestic sales in November and export in December. Hot-rolled, cold-rolled and galvanized prices increased by 900 yuan per ton. This was due to strong steelmaking raw material cost support, strong willingness of international steel mills to raise prices, and reference to the IMF's upward revision of global economic growth expectations and the improvement of the global manufacturing PMI. The China Iron and Steel Association's output decreased, inventories decreased, Japan's JFE cut production, South Korea's POSCO furnace repairs, and regional supply tightened supported prices.
