SMM analysis projects iron ore prices to trend strong in September as steel mills complete maintenance and ramp up hot metal production, lifting ore demand. Rising coke prices are expected to add further cost support. Demand recovery is anticipated with the peak season, though overall upside may be capped by still-weak end-market conditions.
DCE iron ore futures closed higher with spot prices edging up across mainstream grades. Blast furnace operating rates dipped slightly week-on-week and daily hot metal output declined, but bottoming-out signals and improved market expectations lent support. Traders maintained steady shipments while steel mills held back on procurement, leaving spot trading sluggish.

In China, the prices of Color Coated Board were ~USD 919.00/MT in April and ~USD 957.00/MT in June, showing a ~4.1% increase. The market gained support from firmer substrate costs, reduced crude-steel output and relatively controlled inventories during early Q2. However, high color-coated capacity utilization and weaker export demand limited stronger gains. Chinese exports of cold-rolled, galvanized and color-coated steel to Turkey declined 42% year on year during January-March, increasing pressure on domestic availability. Construction demand remained particularly weak, while softer hot-rolled and cold-rolled substrate costs reduced production support during June. In India, the prices of Color Coated Board were ~USD 970.00/MT in April and ~USD 1,045.00/MT in June, showing a ~7.7% increase. Indian market conditions were supported by stronger regional replacement costs and earlier disruption to Asian flat-steel trade flows, which tightened supply options and raised imported steel costs.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near term, color coated board conditions are expected to remain broadly stable, as softer substrate costs and weak construction demand offset support from regional supply discipline.

In Asia, the color-coated board market sentiment strengthened during Q1’26 as upstream pulp availability tightened and operating costs remained under pressure. China’s pulp port inventory declined after an earlier stock build-up, which supported raw material sentiment for paperboard producers. China’s industrial output rose 6.3% in January-February, and manufacturing grew 6.6%, keeping baseline demand firm from packaging, printing, food, and consumer goods sectors. However, downstream buying remained need-based because finished board demand was not strong enough for aggressive restocking. In the latter half of the quarter, the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz closure added to the upward pressure by raising freight risk and fuel-linked shipping costs for pulp and paperboard trade routes into Asia. This prevented buyers from pushing for lower values, even though high finished-paper inventories kept demand cautious.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, color coated board sentiment may remain supported if pulp availability stays tight and shipping risk continues, while weak restocking may limit further upward movement.
