BEIJING, March 1 (Reuters) - The northern Chinese city
of Tangshan, China's top steel production hub, said on Wednesday
it would lift a level 2 emergency response for pollution after
air quality improved.
The municipal government had implemented the response on
Feb. 26 due to a wave of heavy pollution, leading to production
curbs at steel mills.
The most-traded May iron ore futures contract on the Dalian
Commodity Exchange (DCE) closed the daytime trading 2.53% lower
this Monday because sintering capacity was reduced between 30%
and 50% to meet government requirements.
