BHP sees sustained quality differentials for steelmaking raw materials

摘要

BHP is counting on India and China to drive demand for steelmaking raw materials in the year ahead, and expects the structural change in the Chinese steel industry in particular to sustain wide differentials between products of varying quality.“China’s increasing focus on ‘ecological civilization’ has prompted the steel industry to pursue cleaner capacity that can meet increasingly strict emission standards,” Arnoud Balhuizen, the mining major’s chief commercial officer, said at the International Mining & Resources Conference in Melbourne on Tuesday October 30.
