The world's largest steel producer warns of a severe and prolonged downturn in the steel industry, reflecting growing concerns about China's economic health and the potential for a global recession.

Some economists warn that central banks, including the Federal Reserve, have pushed their interest rate hiking cycle too far. Meanwhile, Chinese investors are wary of the growth prospects for the world's second-largest economy.
