🏗China’s excavator sales increased 11% YoY in September (domestic + export), in line with the 12% YoY gain in August, according to the CCMA data. The domestic sales were above CME estimates, being 22% higher YoY (albeit still 45% lower than the August 2021 level).

China accounts for 52% of global steel consumption, and for 57% and 61% of world Cu and Al demand, respectively
