The market had previously expected to be 190,000. In June, it was revised to an increase of 248,000. The initial value increased by 213,000. .

However, metal prices have been limited, after the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said that the proposal to impose import tariffs on US$60 billion worth of US goods is rational and modest, warning the United States that if the trade war escalates, China reserves the right to take further countermeasures.

The Chinese Ministry of Finance said on Friday that the State Council Customs Tariff Commission decided to impose tariffs of 25%, 20%, 10%, and 5% on 5,207 tax items originating in the United States. If the US is willing to go its own way and implement its tariff increase measures, China will implement the above-mentioned tariff increase measures.

On July 11, 18, the US government issued measures to impose tariffs on goods imported from China of about 200 billion US dollars, and solicited public opinions on the measures. On August 2, the US announced that it would increase the tariff rate imposed on the above-mentioned 200 billion US dollars of goods from 10% to 25%.
