Several Chinese steel mills have received instructions to cap this year's output at the same level as 2022, five people familiar with the matter and analyst reports said on Tuesday, potentially curbing iron ore demand in the world's top steel market. Three mills owned by the world's biggest steelmaker, state-owned China Baowu Steel Group, were given verbal instructions that output should not exceed that of 2022, said four of the sources, with two adding the orders were delivered yesterday. China has mandated zero output growth in its steel sector for the last two years as it seeks to limit carbon emissions by one of its most polluting industries.
