    Ferrexpo wary on iron prices and sees banking risks

    Reuters reported that Ukrainian iron ore miner and pellet producer Ferrexpo said on Wednesday that prices could fall further and that it faced risks from the weakness of Ukrainian banks, as it reported a 45 percent drop in first-half core profit.

    The Swiss-headquartered mining firm, whose facilities are located in the Poltava region in central Ukraine, has so far experienced only minor disruptions due to the separatist conflict in the east of the country, such as electricity shortages in the winter months.

    On Wednesday, it said the steep depreciation of Ukraine's hryvnia currency, which has benefited the company by cutting its costs, has also put the local banking sector under stress, forcing it to recapitalise.

    Chief Financial Officer Mr Chris Mawe in a telephone interview said "We operate in Ukraine and because of that we hold a fair amount of liquidity inside the country and rely on the banking sector. Obviously any collapse in that can have certain consequences. That's the risk that we are flagging.”

    He added, however, that the company kept substantial funding abroad too to minimize the risk.

    The group, majority owned by Ukrainian billionaire and independent parliamentarian Kostyantin Zhevago, posted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) of $176 million for the first half of this year, down from $321 million in the same period last year.

    Fortescue jumps 9 pct on report of Chinese interest in assets

    Published on Thu, 06 Aug 2015 80 times viewed

    Aug 5 Shares in Australia's Fortescue Metals Group jumped 9 percent on Wednesday, boosted by a report that China's Hebei Iron & Steel Group and Tewoo Group could invest in its infrastructure and mining assets. The iron ore miner's term loan traded higher on Tuesday, also lifted by speculation over a potential tie in.

    Bloomberg cited people familiar with the matter as saying the two Chinese firms had approached Fortescue about acquiring a stake in the firm's infrastructure assets. The state owned firms could also consider buying stakes in some of the Australian firm's mines, for a total investment of up to $2 billion, the report said.

    Fortescue said in a statement that it was open to commercial discussions with a range of groups but that there was no agreement with any party at this time.

    A sale of the assets involving port and rail operations and collectively held under Fortescue's TPI division, was last publicly considered in late 2013. Analysts have valued TPI to be worth as much as $8 billion.

    By John D. Stoll And Jeff Bennett
    TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.--Steel thought it would be the auto industry's best friend forever. But after more than a century, the relationship appears to need some mending as new emissions regulations are forcing car companies to rethink how vehicles are made.
    At a well-attended auto industry conference here, executives from AK Steel Holding Corp., ArcelorMittal SA, Nucor Corp., and U.S. Steel Corp. walked the halls talking to anyone who would listen about the flexibility and lightness of their metal.
    Their message: Steel--rather than aluminum or plastics--should be the material of choice when it comes to affordably reducing weight on cars and trucks, which need to get lighter to meet 2025 emissions standards.
    Those standards, known as corporate average fuel economy, or CAFE, were locked in during the summer of 2011 and have become the driving force behind most future product strategies. AcelorMittal's director of automotive products, Blake Zuidema, says the Obama administration's announcement of dramatically tighter standards was "the proverbial shot across the bow," pushing steel companies into action.
    Since then, steel advocates have been hitting auto shows and other venues, including industry conferences, often wearing bright green shirts, in an effort to stay in front of an auto industry that has long provided a big revenue stream for the steel industry.
    "We knew our story so well and assumed our customers also knew it so well," Jody Hall, vice president of the Steel Market Development Institute, said. Steel will always have a role in the production of automobiles, but trends show auto makers are spending more time and dollars looking for areas to reduce or even replace steel with aluminum or other composite materials such as plastics and carbon fiber.
    The biggest hit came when Ford Motor Co. transitioned the body panels of the best-selling F-150 pickup to aluminum. Before that, aluminum had been used for niche vehicles aimed at well-heeled buyers, such as Audi AG's A8 sedan--but Ford's move to aluminum, soon to include heavier-duty trucks, represents one million vehicles worth of production.
    Makers of composites also are pressuring steel. BMW AG, for instance, is beginning to use more carbon fiber in the production of its 7-Series luxury sedans. Audi has developed a new sports-car platform for its R8 and Lamborghini models. The platform uses carbon fiber in the hood and the rear seat cavity.
    Steel traditionally makes up about 60% of a vehicle's content, Ms. Hall said. Aluminum, however can offer a significant weight savings, helping Ford shave 700 pounds from the F-150's curb weight; Audi estimates aluminum to be 30% lighter--but steel is a third of the price of aluminum, giving it a huge edge in weak economies and developing markets.
    Steel executives are encouraging auto makers to stay close. They have doubled the number of grades of steel now on the market, promise to work in tandem with any auto maker on any new vehicle and point to that fact that steel is still the best option when it comes to cost. The savings is around $275 a pound over aluminum. It can stand the test of time, which has now become a significant piece of the car-purchasing process. The average age of vehicles on the road is more than 11 years.
    Aluminum executives also were on hand at the conference here, with Alcoa Inc.'s global automotive vice president, J. Michael Murphy, saying several more future vehicles--yet to be announced, will be on the market by 2021. He cites a Ducker Worldwide study on the emergence of aluminum as the primary body style as reason for optimism.
    "The industry's history is 100 years of buying steel," Mr. Murphy said. But that dominance is getting dented. He says that 50% of hoods in the industry, for example, are now aluminum.
    "We have been preparing for this [shift to aluminum] for decades," he said.
    This isn't the first time steel has confronted the threat from outsiders. Decades ago, General Motors Co. launched plastic-paneled vehicles, including the Pontiac Fiero, minivans and Saturn small cars. But that practice fizzled. "There has always been a push by the auto industry into these new materials, and they have always returned to steel," AcelorMittal's Mr. Zuidema said.
    That will be put to the test as auto makers are already locking in specific product plans for meeting new emissions standards that are a decade away, David Mason, vice president of global automotive at Troy, Mich., based Altair Engineering Inc., said. Altair provides software and engineering solutions to auto makers and other industries looking to take weight out of products.
    Mr. Mason said there has been a flood of suppliers of plastics and aluminum looking for ways to boost sales to auto makers, and this has steel companies on the defensive. The amount of plastics now in a car has jumped to more than 350 pounds from 85 pounds in the 1970s. "The metal guys will come [to us] and say 'will you help us fight back,"' Mr. Mason said.

    ArcelorMittal unveils next-generation steel house prototype

    ArcelorMittal’s construction and global R&D divisions in Spain have joined forces with leading Spanish architect Sergio Baragaño to reveal a prototype for a house-of-the-future forged from steel. Unveiled at ArcelorMittal’s global R&D centre in Asturias, the housing prototype is an example of an alternative approach to construction that generates less waste, improves the safety of construction workers, and produces cutting-edge buildings compliant with the latest safety and energy-efficiency regulation.

    Based on Baragaño’s innovative “b home” concept, the prototype uses a pioneering “modular” approach for constructing high-performance homes and offices that deliver value from a cost and resource-efficiency perspective. The structures in the prototype were assembled in a workshop by Madrid-based Prismas, and then transported to the ArcelorMittal R&D site, where construction was completed in just 72 hours.

    The prototype features a host of ArcelorMittal steel in the building’s structure, roof, façade, panels, and decking. Produced at ArcelorMittal Asturias, the steel was coated at Lesaka and transformed at the company’s Berrioplano sites. Ondatherm sandwich panels were selected for their aesthetic value and excellent thermal, acoustic and fire resistance.

    “Forged from ArcelorMittal steel, this project showcases the versatility of steel, and demonstrates why the material has a firm place in the home of the future”, said Nicolás de Abajo, ArcelorMittal’s global R&D manager at Asturias.

    He added: “Steel’s unique strength and aesthetic properties make it highly desirable to architects and engineers alike, and it will continue to satisfy the construction industry’s need for light, economical structures that meet stringent safety and sustainability criteria”.

    Baragaño’s “b home” approach ensures that housing and office units can be easily extended or adapted to meet a user’s changing requirements. In this way, a one-bed house can be converted into a family residence by simply adding more modules horizontally or vertically. The method also makes it possible to disassemble a building and reinstall it elsewhere.

    Another key characteristic of the “b home” approach is the speed of construction, with the possibility of building a property within four months of commission.

    Baragaño has announced a project to build 800 “b home” houses in Chile, with similar projects planned for Panama and Botswana.

    Sumitomo taking scalpel to core business in step toward reform

    Nikkei recently reporte that although Sumitomo Corp's mainstay metal products business has long been self-reliant, the trading house is being forced to re evaluate that stance after logging its first net loss in 16 years last fiscal year.

    The announcement Monday of plans to merge Sumitomo's domestic steel construction products business with that of Marubeni-Itochu Steel is a breakthrough for the company, which is trying to distribute resources more selectively in hopes of engineering a recovery. Marubeni-Itochu Techno Steel, a unit of Marubeni-Itochu Steel, will absorb Sumitomo subsidiary Sumisho Tekko Hanbai. A new company, Marubeni Itochu Sumisho Techno Steel, is slated to be set up in January 2016, with Sumitomo holding a 33.3% stake. In a separate deal, Sumitomo will hand over steel scrap sales operations to an Itochu subsidiary.

    The metal products business, centering on a relationship with the former Sumitomo Metal Industries, has long been a Sumitomo mainstay. Although current President Kuniharu Nakamura hails from the motor vehicle business, a number of his predecessors came through the metal products segment, including Susumu Kato, Motoyuki Oka and Kenji Miyahara. The segment is still an important part of the company, expected to account for 10% of group net profit in fiscal 2015. But it has been clearly left in the dust in the construction materials business.

    Mitsubishi Corp affiliate Metal One Structural Steel & Resource merged with Mitsui & Co Steel in the autumn of 2014 to form Metal One Mitsui Bussan Resources & Structural Steel. The new company has annual turnover of roughly 920 billion yen ($7.35 billion), well beyond Sumitomo's 100 billion yen. Sumitomo still has an edge to some extent in the greater Osaka region, but "it doesn't have much clout nationwide," a steel industry source said.

    Marubeni-Itochu Steel, whose annual construction-materials-related turnover totals some 300 billion yen, was apparently approached by Sumitomo about the merger. Given Sumitomo's close relationship with Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal, the fact that it was forced to cozy up to Marubeni-Itochu Steel, a close partner of Nippon Steel rival JFE Steel, shows just how tough a spot it was in.

    Sumitomo's medium-term plan starting this fiscal year calls for strengthening nonresource businesses, including automotive and infrastructure operations, according to Nakamura. In the metal products segment, the company will look to widen margins on items -- such as thin steel sheet and aluminum -- that are expected to be in higher demand as automakers make lighter vehicles. Sumitomo aims to stop worrying about offering a full array of steel products in-house, starting in the construction materials business, sending a message that it is making changes throughout the company.

    The company booked roughly 270 billion yen in write-downs for fiscal 2014 on shale gas and other operations, including losses on shale gas development in North America due to dropping crude oil prices. It urgently needed to offload resource concessions to put its financial house in order. Sumitomo has sold its stake in an Australian coal mine amid a market slump and halted new development on another U.S. shale gas project. It will freeze major resource-related investment for the time being.

    Most private steel firms in india lack ability to pay interest on time - Capitaline

    Mint reported that only 41 of 129 steel co mpanies listed on BSE have an interest coverage ratio above 1.5 times and only about one in five steel makers has robust cash flows for interest payments. Photo: Abhijit Bhatlekar/Mint

    According to Capitaline data, just 41 out of these 129 companies, which have collectively borrowed Rs.2.63 trillion, have an interest coverage ratio (ICR) above 1.5 times, considered a safe level while measuring a company’s ability to pay interest. The ratio is calculated by dividing a company’s earnings before interest and tax by its interest expenses.

    The list does not include state-run steel manufacturing companies.

    Only 24 companies—or about one in five—have an ICR above 2 times, meaning they have robust cash flows for interest payments.

    For the entire Rs.2.63 trillion in loans, the aggregate ICR is a mere 0.79 times. An ICR below 1 indicates a company is not generating enough money to pay interest.

    Tata Steel's Jamshedpur plant hit by ore supply stoppage from Noamundi

    The Hindu reported that Tata Steel’s Jamshedpur steel plant has been impacted by the stoppage of despatches of iron ore from its captive Noamundi steel mine in Jharkhand. This follows the Jharkhand Government stopping the issuing of the required forwarding notes (challans).

    According to a company statement, the Government of Jharkhand has not yet allowed the execution of the supplementary lease deed for extension of the Noamundi iron ore mine in spite of several representations made by the company on the subject to the state.

    It said “The MMDR (Mines & Minerals Development Regulatory) Amendment Act 2015 stipulates the extension of the captive mining leases up to March 31, 2030, from the date of expiry of the period of last renewal. Applying its own interpretation of the legislative and judicial pronouncements, Government of Jharkhand has stipulated certain onerous terms and conditions for allowing extension of the mining lease of Noamundi, which are not in conformity with the MMDR Amendment Act 2015.”

    Tata Steel said it has decided to seek legal recourse to resolve the impasse.

    The stoppage of despatches from Noamundi will financially impact Tata Steel and till the matter is resolved, the company has taken all measures to ensure that operations of Jamshedpur are unaffected by the actions of the state.

    Anti dumping and safeguard duty on steel imports necessary – Mr Jayant Acharya

    Financial Express reported that with the finance ministry unlikely to raise import duty further, the domestic steelmakers will soon propose imposition of anti-dumping and safe guard duties on the alloy imported from China, Japan, Korea and Russia.

    Mr Jayant Acharya director marketing of JSW Steel said “Imposition of anti dumping and safeguard duties has become necessary as surplus steel from China, Japan and Korea are flooding the domestic market. Russia and Indonesia have also increased exports of steel to India given the depressed global prices, with the latter also making use of a free trade agreement. This has hit the domestic steelmakers hard. Already many countries have raised duties or have taken other steps to prevent dumping of steel,”

    He said “Galloping imports are gradually replacing the domestically produced steel. While during the April-June period, Indian consumption has gone up by 1.3 million tonnes, imports have zoomed 1 million tonnes. In other words, imports accounting for nearly 80% of the incremental steel consumption in India. This has to be stopped.”

    While anti-dumping duties are country specific, safeguard duties are product-specific. These duties are imposed if an investigation establishes that the exporter is selling in India below his cost and such dumping causes ‘injury’ to the domestic manufacturers.

    Metinvest announces Q2 and H1 2015 results

    Metinvest BV, the parent company of a vertically integrated group of steel and mining companies announced its operational results for the second quarter of 2015 and the first six months ended 30 June 2015.

    In 2Q 2015, hot metal production increased by 19% q-o-q, as output rose by 38 thousand tonnes at Azovstal, 42 thousand tonnes at Ilyich Steel and 246 thousand tonnes at Yenakiieve Steel, the latter after a long period of downtime in 1Q 2015.

    Driven by the higher hot metal output, crude steel production rose by 32% q-o-q in 2Q 2015. Volumes increased by 51 thousand tonnes at Azovstal, 178 thousand tonnes at Ilyich Steel and 301 thousand tonnes at Yenakiieve Steel. At Ilyich Steel, the 30% increase in steel output exceeded the 5% growth in hot metal production due to the reallocation of merchant pig iron for steelmaking.

    In 1H 2015, hot metal output fell by 33% y-o-y, as operations were significantly affected by the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, which escalated considerably in 2H 2014. Production declined due to:

    1. The complete shutdown of Yenakiieve Steel from 7 February to 16 March 2015
    2. Constraints in raw material supplies to Azovstal and Ilyich Steel in 1H 2015
    3. Interruptions in natural gas supplies to the steel plants in Mariupol on 12-14 June 2015, after artillery shelling damaged a key gas pipeline.

    These events caused hot metal output to decrease by 350 thousand tonnes at Azovstal, 952 thousand tonnes at Ilyich Steel and 616 thousand tonnes at Yenakiieve Steel.

    The decline in hot metal output caused a comparable fall in crude steel production, which dropped by 32% y-o-y in 1H 2015. Production decreased by 352 thousand tonnes at Azovstal, 847 thousand tonnes at Ilyich Steel and 651 thousand tonnes at Yenakiieve Steel.

    Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal sees no recovery in steel prices for next 8 months

    Reuters reported that the world's No2 steelmaker by output Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal sees no recovery in Asia's sagging steel prices at least until April as exports by top producer China will continue to weigh on the market and the global steel industry has been battered by massive exports of cheap steel from China, where an economic slowdown has curtailed domestic use of the metal.

    Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Executive Vice President Mr Katsuhiko Ota told Reuters in an interview this week "I don't expect to see a recovery in Asia's steel product prices at least during the October-March second half of the fiscal year.”

    Mr Ota said "About half of Chinese mills apparently are making losses, but they are not stopping production.”

    He added "We don't expect an improvement any time soon as the Chinese government is trying to promote exports, rather than stopping or slashing overcapacity.”

    He added "Domestic demand will pick up in the October to March half on higher vehicle output, increased orders of public works and a recovery of capital expenditure by the private sector.”

    Mr Ota was also optimistic about Nippon Steel's own businesses in China, where it has about 30 joint ventures, including Baosteel-NSSMC Automotive Steel Sheets (BNA), which makes automotive flat steel and galvanized steel sheet. He said "Unless China's car production and sales fall sharply, our business will not be affected that much.”

    Steel mills in Tangshan face pollution penalities

    AFP reported that China's top steel producing city of Tangshan will punish firms if they fail to meet tough new pollution standards over the next three months, according to new industry guidelines, a move that could force closures and help ease a severe capacity glut.

    Already struggling with record low prices and rising environmental compliance costs, firms could now have their power prices tripled if they fail to pay for the work required to meet the new standards, analysts estimated.

    The new measures, dated July 1 and circulated over the weekend by traders and analysts, target big industrial coal and water consumers in Tangshan, including coal-fired power plants, cement manufacturers and steel producers. The measures, reviewed by Reuters, also ban the sale and utilisation of low-grade coal.

    China is using tougher environmental rules to help tackle a severe glut of steel capacity that has depressed prices and saddled much of the sector - the world's biggest - with crippling debt.

    Digimet technology for treating EAF steel plant dust

    EAF steel dust is in terms of volume the greatest hazardous solid waste produced by the steel industry. Managing it entails very high costs for steel plants as it is classified as hazardous waste and cannot be deposited in landfills unless it has been treated in advance by authorised waste management companies. DIGIMET allows this dust to be treated in the plant itself and separately from the production process, thus maximising the retrieval of recoverable materials without producing waste.

    DIGIMET, a technology-based enterprise set up by TECNALIA and Kereon in 2013, is offering a solution combining environmental and economic sustainability. Following two years’ work at its plant (in Irun), and on a semi-industrial scale using a 3 000 Tn/year kiln, DIGIMET has been able to confirm the advantages of its technology over the rest of the alternatives currently used in the sector. It involves treating EAF steel dust using a new concept of patented metallurgical kiln. DIGIMET has produced a video explaining its technology: www.digimet.es.

    DIGIMET technology surpasses all the current technologies and allows the limitations of the processes currently used to be solved in a single phase. The new treatment has been presented at steel plants, waste management companies, zinc manufacturers and leading manufacturers of equipment.

    One World Trade Center named best tall building, Americas

    The iconic One World Trade Center – forged from ArcelorMittal steel – has been named 2015’s best tall building in the Americas.

    Constructed using more than 12,500 tonnes of HISTAR® beams and columns produced in Luxembourg, the skyscraper has been named the best tall building on the American continent by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).
    With strong sustainability and aesthetic credentials, One World Trade Center scored highly in four judgement criteria, which included impact on in habitants and their quality of life, relevance to the needs of the community, and economic vitality to the occupants, owner, and community.

    An overall winner for CTBUH’s “Best Tall Building Worldwide” accolade will be selected on November 12 in Chicago. One World Trade Center will be in competition with the three other regional winners, including CapitaGreen in Asia and Australasia, Bosco Verticale in Europe, and Burj Mohammed Bin Rashid Tower in the Middle East and Africa region.

    Safe, sustainable steel

    The presence of ArcelorMittal’s HISTAR® beams in the tower’s structure significantly contributes to One World Trade Center’s sustainability credentials. Structural steels offer high material efficiency, and hot-rolled sections constitute the most recycled building material in the world.

    In addition to meeting the Trade Center’s rigorous safety and sustainability criteria, HISTAR® also met designers’ requirement for lightweighted and economical structures. Hot-rolled H-beams in HISTAR® grades enable the construction of innovative and competitive structures and are highly-suited for high-rise buildings.

    One World Trade Center’s so-called “Freedom beams” are made out of HISTAR® grade 65 steel and measure 9-17 metres, weighing up to 1.1 tonnes per metre. They were produced at ArcelorMittal Differdange – the only steel mill in the world able to produce these beams.



    Burj Khalifa – another building made with ArcelorMittal steel beams – was awarded “Best Tall Building Middle East & Africa” in 2010, and went onto receive CTBUH’s “Global Icon” award.
