China's steel exports expected to continue to rise

During the first half of the year, China experienced a significant surge in its exports of steel products, and this upward trend is expected to continue into the second half. The reason behind the high exports can be attributed to the decreased steel production in other countries, leading to an increased reliance on importing steel.

As we enter the second half of the year, several factors come into play. Apart from the reduced production in other countries, there is an anticipation of an interest rate hike and a rise in the US dollar index, which may potentially weaken the Chinese Yuan. Additionally, the US government has tentatively agreed to raise the debt ceiling, alleviating concerns about an economic recession and further bolstering international steel demand.

Looking towards the long-term future, there remains a strong demand for global infrastructure and renewable energy construction. Furthermore, China's Belt and Road initiative is expected to amplify the need for steel. If these advantageous factors materialize, it is projected that global steel demand will increase by more than 30% compared to 2022 over the next decade.
