Baosteel flags lower profitability on commodity volatility


The steel giant, known as Baosteel, noticed that the industry is gradually recovering from the low ebb seen in the fourth quarter of 2021, when production and consumption were sluggish.

Due to carbon and environmental curbs and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the prices of commodities scaled fresh highs and affected profitability, the steelmaker said in a Shanghai Stock Exchange filing released on Wednesday night.
