Steel stocks in China decreased in early June

In its statement on June 13, the China Iron and Steel Industry Association (CISA) reported that in the first ten days of June, the social inventory of five main types of steel in 21 cities decreased compared to the previous month.

Steel stocks in China decreased in early June

According to the data, steel stocks stood at 10.53 million tonnes, indicating a decrease of 80,000 tonnes, down 0.8% on a monthly basis. Compared to the beginning of the year, stocks increased by 44.4%, reaching 3.24 million tons, and increased by 6.5% compared to the same period last year.

When evaluated on a regional basis, the stocks of the seven main regions showed changes at different rates. Southern China's stocks decreased by 50,000 tonnes, down 1.9% compared to the previous month. The region with the biggest decrease was Northeast China, with a decrease of 2.9%, or 20,000 tons. Changes in other regions were as follows: In Central China, stocks decreased by 20,000 tons (1.5% decrease), in Northern China, stocks decreased by 20,000 tons (1.1% decrease). Eastern China recorded an increase of 10,000 tons, up 0.3%, while Northwest China also experienced an increase of 10,000 tons, up 1.3%. Southwest China's stocks remained unchanged on a monthly basis.

According to CISA's statement, these decreases in stocks are considered as a reflection of demand fluctuations and production dynamics in the sector. Despite the increasing stock amount since the beginning of the year, these monthly decreases show that the sector provides flexibility in stock management and production strategies.

These data are an important indicator for understanding current trends and changes in inventory management in China's steel industry. The decrease in stocks is considered a positive development for the sector in terms of ensuring the balance between production and demand.
