In August, China’s export of rebar amounted to 460,000 mt, down 9.8 percent month on month, but up 1.2 percent year on year.

Wire rod and angles/channels production amounted to 170,000 mt both, down 7.2 percent and 2.0 percent year on year, almost remaining stable and down 19 percent month on month, respectively.
