China commodity trade data June 2026

China's June 2026 commodity trade data reveals strong bulk import volumes, particularly in iron ore and coal, offset by significant weakness in crude oil imports.

In June 2026, China's commodity trade profile remained mixed. While iron ore and coal imports saw robust gains—up 6.36% and 29.49% y/y respectively—energy sectors faced headwinds. Crude oil imports dropped by over 41% y/y, citing poor refining economics, and refined petroleum products saw a contraction of nearly 49%. Industrial metals maintained resilience despite wider manufacturing softness, supported by smelter demand and seasonal inventory restocking.
