China’s June iron ore imports fell 0.5% from the same month a year earlier, customs data showed on Wednesday, amid weaker demand from the steel-making industry.
China, the world’s top iron ore consumer, imported 88.97 million tonnes of iron ore last month, easing 0.5% from 89.42 million tonnes in June 2021, the General Administration of Customs said.
Steel product exports in June were 7.56 million tonnes, it added.
