Sweden: LKAB's pellet output rises by 9% y-o-y in Q2CY'25

• LKAB's pellet output stood at 5.8 mnt in Q2CY'25, up by 9.4% y-o-y from 5.3 mnt in Q2CY'24. Production strengthened, amid fewer disruptions following extensive efforts in 2024 to address deficiencies and improve plant quality.
• LKAB's iron ore product deliveries dipped to 6.1 mnt in Q2 from 6.4 mnt in Q2CY'24, as sales to MSEK fell on lower iron ore prices and a stronger Swedish krona.
