[Stand Together to Fight Coronavirus] What should be noticed is that, ferrosilicon plants, including Dragon Northwest Ferroalloy Co., Ltd. and Erdos Group and others are standing together to fight coronavirus. On one hand, they produce and transport safely, and on the other hand, they contributed goods and materials which were needed at the frontlines.
[Steel Mills] Due to the coronavirus, the manufacturing and construction industries delayed return to go into operation, and the downstream demand for steel declined. Plus the difficult traffic, the transactions reduced and the price decreased, too. Many steel mills cut productions. The pessimistic market was partially caused by the coronavirus of course, but it was also the result of the shakedown period during the slack season.
Confronting the coronavirus, steel mills also united to battle it. They pushed on intelligent manufacturing and transportation to keep the market stable. And meantime, they dominate goods and materials to offer support to win the fight.
