China's export prices for hot-rolled coil (HRC) increased further in late August 2026 due to higher raw material costs and renewed restocking demand from markets such as Vietnam.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial, and 1 source has reported it between 25 Aug 2026 and 31 Aug 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Rising steel exports from China at higher prices shift global cost bases and may squeeze margins for steel buyers and users in Vietnam and nearby markets. You need to prepare for increased input costs or explore less exposed suppliers.
