China produced more than a billion tonnes of crude steel in 2020 due to increased industrial demand from stimulus packages which increased the commodity’s price.
China imported 1.17 billion tonnes of iron ore last year which surpassed its 1.075 billion-tonne record in 2017, according to China’s Customs Administration.
Fortescue Metals Group’s share price is down by $0.080 to $22.580 per share at the time of writing, while BHP’s price is down $0.110 to $44.020.
