Steel and Steel Feedstocks: China’s Cisa steel mills lift output to new record

摘要

China Iron and Steel Association (Cisa) member mills increased crude steel output to a record high in mid-April as larger mills boosted output to offset curbs by Tangshan’s smaller producers. Output from Cisa member mills rose by 2.2pc to 2.324mn t/d over 11-20 April from 1-10 April. Output during the latest 10-day period was 19.1pc higher than a year earlier when Covid-19 lockdowns slowed operations.
