BHP beats global iron ore production guidance in FY25
BHP beats global iron ore production guidance in FY25
Sydney, 18 July (Argus) — Australian iron ore producer BHP mined 263mn t of iron ore in the July 2024-June 2025 financial year, beating expectations, and despite facing severe weather challenges over the year. BHP had expected to produce at the lower end of its 255mn-265mn t range guidance because of disruptions due to February cyclones in Western Australia (WA) . But its final output sat firmly on the upper end of the guidance, the company's 18 July production report shows. BHP has set its 2025-26 financial year production guidance at 258mn-269mn t, on an equity basis. The increased guidance comes from both its WA mines and its 30mn t/yr Samarco mine in Brazil , which is currently ramping up to full capacity. BHP expects to produce 7mn-7.5mn t of ore at Samarco in the 2025-26 financial year, up from 6.4mn t last year. It will also produce 251mn-262mn t of ore at its WA mines — in-line with the 257mn t mined in the 2024-25 financial year. BHP's total iron ore output rose 1.6pc on the year in the April-June quarter to 70mn t (see table), driven by the ongoing ramp-up of Samarco. Production at the Brazilian mine hit 2mn t over the quarter, up 91pc on the year. The company produced 68mn t of ore at its larger WA mines in April-June, up 0.3pc on the year. BHP's output in WA increased in the 2024-25 financial year despite facing weather-related disruptions in early 2025. The company had shuttered many of its WA mines in mid-February, as Cyclone Zelia approached the state's coast. But operations resumed just days after the storm passed through the hub and had minimal impact on iron ore production. Elevated production at the company's 80mn t/yr South Flank mine fully offset the weather impacts. Production at BHP's Area C joint venture — including both South Flank and its Mining Area C operations — rose 13pc on the year in 2024-25 to 119mn t. BHP's sales were flat on the year in 2024-25, declining just 0.1pc to 256mn t. Its product mix remained similarly stagnant, with iron ore lumps accounting for 31pc of sales, up from 30pc a year earlier, and iron ore fines accounting for 69pc of sales, down from 70pc.

EU HRC imports rise in May
EU HRC imports rise in May
London, 17 July (Argus) — European hot-rolled coil (HRC) imports rose on the year in May, but fell from the preceding month when quarterly quotas had just reset. Imports rose by 50pc on the year, and fell by 36pc on month, to 600,000t. Turkey remained the largest supplier, shipping 230,000t. Turkish shipments rose by 140pc on the year and edged up by 5pc on the month, supported by its large country-specific quotas for HRC, which helped maintain strong export flows in May. Sales from South Korea and Taiwan were limited, with Taiwan recording no shipments and South Korea supplying only about 3,000t, as both had exhausted their quotas in April. Indonesian shipments remained strong, as it is exempt from quotas. Volumes more than doubled on the year and tripled on the month to 116,500t. There has been talk of Indonesia coming into the scope of the safeguard, but mill sources suggest this is unlikely before next year as any review could see countries currently under the measure becoming exempt. Cold-rolled coil (CRC) and hot-dip galvanised (HDG) imports also declined in May, largely because of quota constraints. Combined volumes dropped by 26pc on the month to 127,500t. CRC shipments from Turkey fell sharply, down by 93pc on the year and month. India was the main CRC supplier with 31,000t, despite this being 25pc lower than in May last year. HDG imports saw a steeper drop, falling by 73pc on the month to 212,000t, underpinned by the absence of Vietnamese and Chinese suppliers. A similar trend was seen in longs. Rebar imports dropped by 65pc on the month to 69,200t, as Egypt and Turkey were out of the market after exhausting their quotas early in the second quarter. Wire rod imports fell by 50pc on the month to 144,000t. The UK increased its shipments by 27pc compared with April to 43,000t, making it the largest wire rod supplier in May. On the export side, EU HRC shipments declined by 11.5pc on the month to 196,804t, as sales to Turkey and the US weakened. The UK accounted for 92,400t of the total, marking a 62pc increase on the year. The Netherlands has been selling more into the UK since Tata Steel closed its Port Talbot blast furnaces, and continued to service some higher-spec grades from its sister plant in IJmuiden. EU rebar exports dropped by 27pc on the year but rose by 32pc on the month to 51,000t, supported by 15,400t in sales to the US, which had recorded no imports from EU in April. Wire rod exports also declined on the year and fell by 7pc on the month, with weaker sales to key destinations including Switzerland, the UK and US.

Japan boosts iron ore imports in June
Japan boosts iron ore imports in June
Osaka, 17 July (Argus) — Japan imported 8.3mn t of iron ore in June, up by 5.1pc against a year earlier, according to preliminary data released by the country's finance ministry on 17 July. June imports rose by 18pc from a month earlier. The country increased imports on the back of higher crude steel production, which rebounded to 6.8mn t in May, up by 3.5pc on the month but still lower by 4.7pc on the year. Japan's steel mills are bearish about the short-term outlook of crude steel output because of weak demand in both domestic and export markets. Production is forecast to drop by 2.3pc on the year to 20.1mn t in July-September, according to the trade and industry ministry Meti. Japan's iron ore import prices averaged at $102.08/t in June, down by around 16pc on the year. The yen-denominated price was ¥14,701/t ($99/t), lower by 23pc over the same period.

Canada tightens steel import trade measures
Canada tightens steel import trade measures
London, 16 July (Argus) — The Canadian government today said it will tighten import measures on steel to protect its domestic market and prevent trade diversion. As part of the measures, quotas for non-free trade agreement (FTA) partners will be slashed to 50pc of the 2024 volumes. Countries with an FTA will now face a quota equal to 100pc of their import volumes last year. Imports above allocated quotas will be subject to a 50pc tariff. A 25pc additional tariff will be placed on imports from all countries, except the US, containing Chinese melted and poured steel. There will be no changes to trade measures with the US. "These measures will ensure Canadian steel producers are more competitive by protecting them against trade diversion resulting from a fast-changing global environment for steel, creating more resilient supply chains, and unlocking new private capital in Canadian production," the government said. The government also said it will implement new procurement rules for federal infrastructure projects to promote domestically produced material. A number of other countries, including the UK, are looking to promote domestic steel consumption in government-funded projects.
