Morning Bites (part 1)

🏗China’s excavator sales rose 13% YoY in August (domestic + export), decelerating from the +25% YoY in July, per CCMA data. Specifically, domestic sales were up 15% YoY (still -38% vs. the same period in 2021)

In our view, the ongoing recovery in Chinese excavator sales, recorded since mid-2024, indicates that the local real estate sector is gradually bottoming out. Meanwhile, Beijing plans to cut 'excessive' steel output in 2025-26 (up to 2-5% of China’s 2024 supply, per market estimates). These factors might cool surging Chinese steel exports, and support global steel prices in late-2025 or 2026, in our view
