Reuters Africa reports China steel futures dropped for a third day running, with sentiment hurt by the country’s latest move to tighten liquidity.
The market news is quoted as saying,
The most-active January rebar contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell as low as 4,762 yuan a tonne, its weakest since Aug. 11, before closing down 0.7 percent at 4,768 yuan.
