Global steel market keeps booming

The shock adjustment of China's steel market did not affect the general trend of continuous rise of most global markets, and the international steel market ended with rise.

In 2019, global crude steel production will reach a record 1.83 billion tons. Data shows that in November, the crude steel output of 64 countries included in the statistics of the World Steel Association was 147.8 million tons, down 1.0% year-on-year; from January to November, the global crude steel output was 1.684 billion tons, up 2.7% year-on-year, with an increase of 43.96 million tons; according to this prediction, the global crude steel output in 2019 will reach a record 1.83 billion tons, up 2.5% year-on-year, with an increase of 44.6 million tons.
