Due to strict governmental regulations in China, steel mills prefer high grade ore and mills are heard stocking the material beyond the production needs. Amidst rising demand by Chinese and other overseas buyers, accompanied with constraint supply in global market, Indian pellet prices have seen sharp uptick.
Besides, LKAB, world`s second largest producer in seaborne pellet market had declared force majeure resulted in temporary supply cut by the miner. As per the latest update received, the normal operations have been restored.
Increasing demand by Chinese mills amidst approaching winter cuts along with increasing dependence by Japan, European and Korean still mills on Indian pellets has raised pellet export realizations.
