Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The cuts come as weak property and construction demand has led to high inventories and deteriorating profitability for Chinese mills. Korean industry officials are cautiously hopeful that these reductions could ease oversupply and price pressure for steelmakers globally.
