China’s domestic finished steel stocks fell by 4.1% in late September, according to data from the China Iron and Steel Association (CISA).
As of September 30, 2025, inventories of the five main finished steel products across 21 major cities stood at 9.02 million mt, down 390,000 mt from September 20.
-
Rebar saw the largest decline at -8.4%,

Wire rod decreased -3.4%,
-
Medium plate fell -2.7%,
-
Cold-rolled coil (CRC) dropped -1.51%,
-
Hot-rolled coil (HRC) was the only product to increase by 1.5%.
This inventory reduction reflects steady end-user demand and seasonal production adjustments as China enters the final quarter of the year.
