China’s State Council announced more stimulus policies on Wednesday including an additional 300 billion yuan ($44 billion) in quotas for infrastructure spending and investments by banks — on top of the 300 billion yuan already announced at the end of June.
“While the additional infrastructure stimulus was welcome news, high-frequency data continues to show us just how poor construction steel demand is in China,” said Atilla Widnell, managing director at iron ore intelligence consultancy Navigate Commodities.
