    Polish stainless consumption to hold after record year

    Apparent stainless steel consumption in Poland rose 5% on-year in 2016 to an annual record 400,000 tonnes, and in 2017 it should remain at around this level, according to Andrzej Michalski-Stepkowski, president of Poland’s Stainless Steel Association (SSN).

    Stainless steel prices in the Polish market are on an increasing trend. This is in line with international markets where prices are being propped up by costlier raw materials, such as nickel, as well as rising demand. Another factor supporting prices are increased trade defence measures in Europe and the US.

    “Administrative mechanisms are effectively slowing the international expansion of Asian producers, and they also allow local mills to catch a breath,” Michalski-Stepkowski tell Wirtualny Nowy Przemysl. “This can be seen clearly among European [stainless] processors whose financial condition has distinctly improved recently.”

    Although rising stainless prices have improved Polish stainless processors’ margins following years of low profitability, “…there is still a lot of competition in the market, which fundamentally limits the possibility for an overly drastic increase in prices,” the president says in the interview monitored by Kallanish.

    Stainless demand is seen rising in 2017 from all of Poland’s economic sectors, but Michalski-Stepkowski singles out steel structures for construction as having particularly large potential for using more stainless steel.

    Outokumpu supplies stainless rebar for Kuwait bridge

    Outokumpu is providing 1,600 tonnes of stainless steel rebar for the construction of the Sheikh Jaber al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Bridge in Kuwait, Kallanish learns from the Finnish group.

    It was commissioned by Hyundai Engineering & Construction of South Korea to supply rebar in grade Forta DX 2304 from the bar mill in Sheffield, UK, supported by a local stockist in Doha, Qatar.

    Deliveries already started last year, and will continue throughout 2017. “Stainless steel is the ideal material for infrastructure projects such as The Sheikh Jaber al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Bridge due to its high corrosion resistance and low life-cycle costs,” says Outokumpu Long Products head Kari Tuutti.

    The bridge is expected to be in service at the end of 2018. The 36km long causeway project is one of the largest infrastructure projects in the Gulf Coast region, according to Outokumpu.  The mill group’s long products sites are located in the UK, Sweden and the US.

    Indonesia nickel exports to boost Antam

    Indonesia’s decision to allow some exports of nickel ore under certain conditions have brought international nickel prices down. Export volumes are likely to be very limited, however, and local miner and smelter PT Aneka Tambang (Antam) is likely to be the key beneficiary, Kallanish notes.

    Indonesia has gone ahead with a policy to allow limited volumes of unprocessed nickel ore exports for miners which are carrying out investments in smelting capacity. Although the idea had been broadly discussed last year, the move came as a surprise as ministers had openly turned against the idea.

    Antam is the main company that will meet the requirements to export. It has previously said that it needs to boost revenues in order to sustain its ongoing smelter investments. It is struggling to find cash for its $500 million of nickel smelting investments.

    The volumes exported are likely to be small, however, with Macquarie estimating Antam could export around 70,000 tonnes/year of ore. Indonesia exported around 60 million tonnes of nickel ore in 2013 before a ban on ore exports.

    More important than the increase in ore exports, would be the completion of sustainable nickel pig iron capacity in Indonesia. Over time, this would be a greater threat to nickel ore exports in the Philippines and elsewhere.

    NEW DELHI: Major metals and stainless steel industries associations, have urged the Steel Ministry to have a relook at the Stainless Steel products Quality Control (QC) Order, 2016.

    Industry bodies, Process Plant & Machinery Association of India (PPMAI) and the Metal and Stainless Steel Merchants Association (MASSMA) say that the order does not cover over 60 per cent of most of the non-standard grades of stainless steel being produced and imported in the country.

    The Stainless Steel Products QC Order makes it mandatory to register with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and prohibits manufacture, import, storage, sale and distribution of stainless steel products by trade and industry without such registration.

    "More than 60 per cent of stainless steel produced in the country includes non-standard flat products not conforming to American Standards for Testing of Materials (ASTM) or any other international standard or local BIS standard," a joint statement said.

    Though the order seeks to ensure that the domestic and industrial users get quality products, however, over 60 per cent stainless steel (of 200 series with below 1 per cent Nickel) is used mostly by utensil makers, which is not covered under the QC Order or under IS Standards of BIS, it added.

    "This needs a probe as why it has been left out under the Quality Control order. Is this a oversight or a deliberate move to Safeguard a particular section of industry or manufacturers," MASSMA Chairman (Excise and Customs) Manoj Kunango questioned.

    Industry also demands that the implementation date of the QC Order must be extended by nine months as requested by various sectors well as by Larsen and Toubro (L&T), PPMAI Secretary V P Ramachandran said.

    British Steel pension scheme rebuffs financier's rescue idea

    Marion Dakers, financial services editor
    19 JANUARY 2017 • 11:52AM
    City financier Edi Truell has repeated his offer to take over the Tata Steel pension fund and aid the firm’s recovery - only for the fund to reject his plan as an “unacceptable risk”.

    Mr Truell, who advised Boris Johnson on London’s public sector pensions, has told the British Steel Pension Scheme of his proposal to take control of the £15bn fund and cover any growing liabilities while retaining a share of future profits.

    Securing the future of the pension scheme and its 130,000 members is one of the thorniest problems facing Tata Steel UK and its Indian parent company, with months of talks with the Pensions Regulator yet to produce a solution.

    German rival Thyssenkrupp, which is in merger talks with Tata's European business, has displayed no interest in taking on the British pension as part of any deal.

    Mr Truell told Reuters that he wanted to assemble a group of insurance companies to take responsibility for the pensions, charging Tata “north of one billion pounds” to sever ties. He has made offers several times over the past year.

    Allan Johnston, chairman of the pension trustees, said Mr Truell’s plan was unsolicited and would require commitments from the Government, Tata Steel, the Pensions Regulator and financial backers.

    “Mr Truell was unable to demonstrate that there was any reasonable prospect of these things happening,” he said.

    “With the benefit of its knowledge of all the circumstances currently surrounding the scheme, the Trustees concluded that Mr Truell’s proposals were not viable and would expose members to unacceptable risk. This has been explained to Mr Truell.”

    Tata committed to keeping Port Talbot’s blast furnaces open for at least five years in December, halting its plans to sell or close the UK business.

    This agreement bought breathing space for Tata UK as it began to turn a profit but came without a definitive answer for the pension scheme. A consultation is under way about possible cuts to members’ payments.

    Beijing orders dragnet to uncover illicit steel, coal company expansions

    Singapore (Platts)--19 Jan 2017 723 am EST/1223 GMT

    As part of an ongoing campaign to rein in illegal Chinese steel and coal expansions, Beijing has ordered provincial authorities to conduct a "dragnet" and submit a list of offenders to central government agencies by January 20.

    Provincial governments must conduct inspections to uncover companies that have unlawfully set up new capacity, produced and sold induction furnace billet, or restarted closed capacity, according to a statement Thursday on the website of the National Development and Reform Commission, jointly issued with five other agencies.

    Local authorities will also have to lay out how and under what timeframe they intend to deal with offending companies.

    Steel company cases are to be reported to the NDRC, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

    Coal cases are to be refered to the NDRC, the State Administration of Work Safety, the National Energy Administration and the State Administration of Coal Mine Safety.

    Budget Wish List – Indian stainless steel makers

    Indian Stainless Steel Development Association has recommended government to increase basic import duty on stainless steel flat products from 7.5 percent to 12.5 percent and to abolish the import duty on key raw materials like ferronickel, pure nickel, ferromoly and SS scrap to nil.

    Stainless steel industry has been facing extreme difficulty in the last few years. The Indian stainless steel industry has made an investment of approximately Rs 35, 000 crore by both public and private sector towards capacity expansion and modernization. Most of the capacities which were added in the last 4-5 years were based on healthy estimates of demand growth. But this investment is under serious threat.

    One of the main reasons for this is huge import surge, especially from China, which has primarily contributed to the deteriorating condition of the SS industry. Imports of stainless steel flat products rose from 3, 24,460 MT in 2013-14 to the highest ever record of 5, 32,033 MT in 2015-16. Imports from China have more than doubled from 1, 11,765 MT in 2013-14 to 2, 76,456 MT in 2015-16, according to Ministry of Commerce. China now accounts for more than 50 percent of the import basket. This is the single largest threat for the industry today. This trend of surging imports continues even this financial year. The situation has reached alarming proportions and has further deteriorated in the first five months of the FY 2016-17 (April – Aug 2016). The total imports of stainless steel flat products touched all time high of monthly volume of 73,749 MT in Aug 2016.

    Even in comparison to other steel products, SS flat products attract the lowest basic customs duty at 7.5 percent while the duty on carbon steel products is 12.5 percent (due to two instalments of duty increase in 2015 of 2.5 percent each). Further, when there was a sharp rise in imports in the steel industry, imposition of a Minimum Import Price (MIP) was notified in February 2016 to help the domestic steel industry. The stainless steel products were left out once again thus depriving the domestic stainless steel industry from any protection even if it was meant to be in the short term.

    Considering the fact that today imports occupy 25 percent market share, there is an immediate need for increasing the import duty on stainless steel flat products.

    Stainless scrap prices increase in Italy

    Italian stainless scrap prices are rising by €50/tonne ($53.4/t) compared to December after a see-saw period with nickel prices. The current increases in Italy reflect the nickel price hikes seen in December. Nickel prices have fluctuated between €10,500/t and €9,800/t over the past weeks with raw materials losing and regaining €50/t, sources tell Kallanish.

    Italian stainless scrap grade 304 is now being sold at €1,180-1,200/tonne delivered, up from December’s level of €1,110-1130/t delivered. This excludes blend. Including blend, which is a mix of 304 and less pure qualities, prices can rise up to €1,250/t delivered on average. However, mixing lower grades of stainless with 304 implies further processing costs which are not always covered by the current low margins on selling prices.

    Prices for grade 316 are performing slightly better that for 304. The more costly 316 increased by €100/t in January compared to last month due to soaring international prices for molybdenum. 316 is now sold in Italy at €1,600-1,650/t delivered on average, sources suggest.

    French stainless scrap prices increase but demand low

    French stainless steel scrap prices increased compared to December by €50/tonne ($53.2/t) on average and €100/t for the molybdenum-based grades, local sources tell Kallanish.

    Although finished delivered scrap prices have absorbed the nickel price hikes seen recently, French scrap remains slightly lower than neighbouring countries such as Italy. Market demand is considered as “… low,” with margins squeezed by the price fluctuations.

    “Despite the good sales results that European mills are obtaining thanks to high alloy surcharges, a recovery of base prices and a good level of demand for finished products, the request for scrap this month seems disappointing and local mills are not willing to pay the prices that other European mills are paying for example.

    We are €10/t and sometimes €20/t lower compared to other European countries,” a scrap merchant comments.
    French prices for stainless scrap grade 304 ranges between €1,150-1,180/t delivered. Grade 316 prices have absorbed the high increase in molybdenum values and are therefore pegged at €1,570-1,600/t delivered, sources suggest.

    Taiwan stainless CRC imports unnerve EU market players

    The European Commission is rumoured to have refused to double the current anti-dumping duties on stainless cold rolled coil originated in Taiwan, Kallanish hears from market sources. The European stainless CRC market is therefore forecast to remain under pressure in terms of volumes and prices over the next two quarters because of this.

    In recent months Europe has seen large quantities of CRC coming in, especially from Taiwan, at very competitive prices, industry sources reveal. “Now that the news of the EC decision is spreading, Taiwan is coming back aggressively in Europe therefore we expect a lot of tension on the spot CRC stainless market in the coming months”, an informed source comments. The EC has not yet published its decision and was not available for comment on the matter before deadline.

    The EC received a request lodged in June 2016 by the European Steel Association Eurofer to investigate the effectiveness of anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products, from Taiwan. The investigation was to assess whether the imports have had an effect on export prices, resale prices or subsequent selling prices in the Union.

    Eurofer lodged the request on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products. In August last year the EC published a notice of reopening the anti-dumping investigation on CRC from Taiwan.

    The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on 26 August 2015 on imports of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in China and Taiwan. These range from 24.4% to 25.3% for China, and 6.8% on imports from Taiwan.

    For the reinvestigation Eurofer submitted sufficient evidence showing that after the original investigation period and prior to and following the imposition of the anti-dumping duties on imports of CRC, export prices have decreased. This has impeded the intended remedial effects of the measures in force.

    “The evidence contained in the request indicates that the decrease in prices cannot be explained by changes in raw material prices, energy costs, labour costs, duty rates or exchange rates. Furthermore, the applicant has provided evidence showing that imports of the product under investigation have continued to enter the Union in significant volumes”, the EC said in a note seen by Kallanish.

    Delong Nickel signs $725 million Indonesian construction contract

    China’s Delong Nickel Industry signed a construction contract on 15 January worth CNY 5 billion ($725.36 million), according to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The power plant project will start from 1 April in south-eastern Indonesia's Sulawesi Kendari city, where Delong is expanding its nickel pig iron production, Kallanish notes.

    Suzhou THVOW Technology has announced that its subsidiary China Sinogy Electric Engineering (CSEEC) has signed a contract with Delong Nickel Group for the power plant. The scheme includes twelve 125MW condensed steam turbines and twelve 480 tonnes/hour pulverised coal furnaces.

    Delong planned to commission a 600,000 tonnes/year nickel pig iron smelter in Indonesia with a total investment of $929m before 2016 but it is still commissioning some of the plant and slowly ramping up production. The whole project includes a power plant and port. It is expected to supply refined nickel locally, as well as to export to China. The plant was scheduled to expand to 1.2m t/y in early 2017 and could hit 3m t/y in 2019, according to Delong.

    Chinese stainless steel producers have attempted to secure nickel supply in the face of Indonesia’s unrefined raw material export ban. China’s largest privately-owned stainless steel producer, Tsingshan Group, has invested in a 3m t/y stainless hot rolled coil line in Indonesia.

    European alloy surcharges and stainless base prices increase

    After rising in December and January, alloy surcharges in Europe are again increasing for February as forecast. This is due to higher nickel prices which remain over $10,000/tonne and concerns in China and Europe about ferrochrome. Prices for the ferroalloy are rising steeply due to low availability especially in China, Kallanish hears from market sources.

    In February alloy surcharges will increase by around €80-90/t ($85.1-95.7/t) to €1,430/t on average from the January levels €1,340-1,350/t.

    Taking into account the high volatility of nickel over the past month, alloy surcharge projections for March from European mills are €20-30/t lower than February. They remain €50/t higher than in January however and are settled for the moment at €1,400-1,410/t, depending on European mill. High alloy surcharges are combining with a €30/t increase in base prices by European mills between December and March. This will pushup all finished stainless steel prices until March, sources say.

    European mills’ order books are full until the end of the first quarter 2017 and most producers are only accepting orders for April and May delivery. The market however has been psychologically affected by the latest and unpredicted sudden fall in the price of nickel. Due to this nickel volatility, the current attitude of end-users and retailers compared to last month is therefore that of uncertainty and careful ordering, Kallanish learns.
