MOSL : METALS WEEKLY: China resumes work after golden week holidays, with prices on the downtick

METALS WEEKLY: China resumes work after golden week holidays, with prices on the downtick

Highlights for the week

  • Chinese factories resumed work after the golden week holidays, with steel prices coming off again after the government highlighted inclusive growth as a bigger objective compared to GDP growth.
  • COVID-related lockdowns in China continued with five districts in Shanghai quietly locked down as infections "flare" as Xi Jinping continues to pursue zero COVID strategy without any deviation.
  • Cifi Holdings, one of the state backed Real Estate developers, defaulted on its coupon falling due on 8th Oct'22, citing the golden week holidays. This indicates that the Chinese Real Estate sector is not out of the woods yet.
  • Meanwhile, in India, spot HRC prices continued to trend down by almost 1% on a WoW basis, while Chinese domestic HRC fell 1.9% WoW. Korean landed HRC continues at a premium of INR3,1113/t as POSCO is still repairing its HSM in the aftermath of super typhoon Hinnamnor.

Metal prices on the LME continued to slide between 1% and 3% as slowdown in China and trade frictions between the US and China emerge, with additional sanctions on the Chinese semiconductor industry by the US
