China's export prices for hot-rolled coil (HRC) rose by $7 per tonne to $488 FOB at Tianjin port during August 17-21, driven by higher input costs from rising coking coal prices which prompted mills to increase export offers.

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 export prices in China signal input cost pressures moving downstream. You should reassess supply chain risks if your business depends on steel imports or exports, as cost volatility can impact margins.
