China’s government will implement some of its strictest cuts to steel production this week as it seeks to diminish winter pollution and further consolidate a fractious industry.

The reduction will cut in half the rate of steel production in the northeastern city of Tangshan, the largest steel-producing city in China, which ultimately will affect 20M metric tons of steel, the equivalent of ~7.5% of national annual production, and three other key steel-producing cities of Shijiazhuang, Anyang and Handan will announce similar cuts.

Meanwhile, prices for low-grade iron ore, one of the key ingredients for steel, have plunged more than 18% in the past month.
