BEIJING (REUTERS) - China's monthly crude steel output picked up in August, after falling for two straight months, official data showed on Monday, as mills boosted output ahead of production cuts expected to kick in by October as part of Beijing's anti-pollution drive.
Total crude steel production was 87.25 million tonnes last month, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed, up 2.4% from 85.22 million tonnes in July and up 9.3% from a year earlier.
