ICICI Securities Report

China's trade data for November 2022 was reasonably robust on hopes of easing of Covid restrictions and stimulus measures by the government. Key highlights:

  1. copper imports, in both refined and concentrate forms, rose 10% YoY and 6% YoY respectively;

  2. steel exports rose for the second successive month while aluminium exports declined further; and

  3. coal imports fell 11% YoY on higher domestic output.

Going ahead, while the China government has reportedly agreed to ease rigid Covid-related shutdowns, we don't see signs of pick-up in domestic demand as yet.

Chinese spot hot rolled coil prices have crept to a 1.5-month high, largely mirroring futures prices – though real estate demand indicators remain weak.
