    UK Revokes Countervailing Measure on Indian Stainless Steel Import

    The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has announced that the UK Government has agreed to revoke the countervailing measure on imports of stainless steel bars and rods from India. Countervailing measures are implemented to counteract unfair pricing resulting from government subsidies in the country of origin. The TRA conducted an investigation and determined that the UK industry would not be significantly impacted if the measure was removed.

    UK Steel, the trade association representing the UK steel industry, stated that the risk of injury to domestic producers resulting from the removal of the measure is very low. The UK market has minimal supply of stainless steel bars and rods from domestic producers. Therefore, the TRA concluded that revoking the measure would not harm UK producers but would allow for competitively-priced imports from India to continue.

    India has been the third-largest source of stainless steel bars and rods for the UK in terms of tonnage in 2022. Previously, importers had to pay a tariff of 0%-4% due to the countervailing measure. However, the TRA's investigation revealed that market conditions, historical injury data, and international competition did not indicate potential harm to UK producers if the measure was lifted.

    Stainless steel bars and rods are widely used across various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and food processing. They serve as essential components in larger products or are further processed into precision components. By allowing competitive imports from India to continue, revoking the countervailing measure supports the availability of these materials in the UK market.

    Commerce Ministry Recommends Continuation of CVD on Stainless Steel

    In a recent development, India’s commerce ministry has put forth a recommendation to extend the countervailing duty on specific flat-rolled steel products imported from China for a duration of five years, as per media reports. The proposal follows an investigation conducted by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies, which highlighted the need to address the issue of undercutting domestic steel prices. The ministry's suggestion aims to safeguard the interests of the domestic steel industry by countering potential subsidization from Chinese producers.

    Vivek Johri, chairman of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, confirmed that the finance ministry is currently examining the recommendation and has not yet reached a final decision. This step is crucial in assessing the potential impact of the countervailing duty on steel imports from China. The commerce ministry's suggestion comes as a response to an application jointly filed by Jindal Stainless Ltd and Jindal Stainless (Hisar) Ltd, who sought the continuation of the duty.

    The DGTR's investigation findings support the need for the countervailing duty extension, as they reveal that Chinese imports have been undercutting domestic steel prices. Furthermore, there is a significant possibility of continued subsidization by Chinese producers, considering their surplus capacities. The continuation of the CVD would act as a measure to mitigate these challenges and level the playing field for the domestic steel industry.

    Gezien de recente update van het bedrijf en het huidige koersniveau vind ik het aandeel nu zeer koopwaardig. Persoonlijk verwacht ik dat de daling beprekt blijft tot ergens in de 24, waarna een upside tot 30+ gaat volgen. Dus meer dan 25% winst op redelijk korte termijn, dividend niet meegerekend.

    De Chinese staalindustrie stevent af op een nieuwe crisis, met wereldwijde gevolgen

    De voorzitter van China Baowu Steel Group, de grootste staalproducent ter wereld, heeft woensdag gewaarschuwd dat de Chinese staalindustrie er slechter aan toe is dan tijdens de crises van 2008 en 2015.

    China heeft een enorme staalsector, maar kampt door de vastgoedcrisis in China met een lagere vraag naar staal, met dalende prijzen tot gevolg. De Chinese overcapaciteit leidt wereldwijd tot problemen. Hu Wangming, de voorzitter van staatsbedrijf Baowu Steel, zei op een bedrijfsbijeenkomst dat de Chinese staalindustrie zich in een ‘strenge winter’ bevindt, die ‘langer, kouder en zwaarder zal zijn dan verwacht’.

    De Chinese staalprijzen namen in 2022 een diepe duik en blijven sindsdien dalen. Volgens het Chinese financiële medium Jiemian is de situatie zo ernstig dat er van de elf Chinese beursgenoteerde staalbedrijven in de eerste helft van dit jaar slechts één winstgevend was.

    China heeft de voorbije decennia een enorme staalcapaciteit opgebouwd, van meer dan 1 miljard ton per jaar. Dat is 55 procent van de wereldcapaciteit. Maar de vraag naar staal in China is sterk afgenomen door de aanhoudende vastgoedcrisis en de beperkte overheidsinvesteringen in infrastructuur. De Chinese Communistische Partij streeft naar een transformatie van de Chinese economie, en stimuleert de ontwikkeling van hoogwaardige industrieën, zoals groene energie en elektrische auto’s. Die hebben ook staal nodig, maar veel minder dan de bouwsector.

    ‘Agressieve export’
    De problemen in de Chinese staalindustrie hebben ook effect op de rest van de wereld. Chinese staalfabrieken proberen hun overtollige productie in het buitenland kwijt te raken, waardoor ook daar de prijzen dalen. De staalprijzen in Europa zijn nu lager dan de productiekosten. De export van Chinees staal steeg in de eerste helft van 2024 met 24 procent, naar 53 miljoen ton. Experts verwachten dat de Chinese export dit jaar het vorige record van 2015 zou kunnen inhalen.

    De in Luxemburg gevestigde staalproducent ArcelorMittal, de grootste buiten China, verlaagde begin deze maand zijn winstverwachting, mede als gevolg van de ‘agressieve export’ uit China. Het Duitse Thyssenkrupp, met negen staalfabrieken in Europa, liet woensdag weten dit kwartaal verlies te verwachten. De Nederlandse tak van Tata Steel leed vorig jaar 556 miljoen euro verlies door de gedaalde vraag uit China, maar ook door vertraagde bouwprojecten. In het eerste kwartaal van dit jaar maakte het bedrijf winst.

    Meerdere landen – waaronder Vietnam, Chili, Mexico – zijn anti-dumpingonderzoeken tegen China gestart of hebben beschermingsmaatregelen genomen. De Europese Unie hanteert importquota’s voor Chinees staal, en een heffing van 25 procent voor staal dat boven die quota uitkomt. Maar die maatregelen kunnen volgens experts makkelijk omzeild worden, onder meer door via derde landen in te voeren. Europese staalfabrikanten hebben om strengere regels gevraagd.

    De maatregelen zijn noodzakelijk, maar niet voldoende’, aldus Bernardo Valzquez, directeur van de Spaanse staalproducent Acerinox, eerder dit jaar bij persbureau Reuters. ‘De Europese Unie moet meer heffingen opleggen, in navolging van het Amerikaanse model, zodat de Aziatische markten dezelfde spelregels hebben.’ De Verenigde Staten hanteren een heffing van 25 procent voor al het Chinese staal, ook als dat via Mexico binnenkomt.

    ‘Zwaard boven de staalindustrie’
    China kwam in 2015 en 2016 ook in botsing met de rest van de wereld over de staalexport aan dumpingprijzen. Dat leidde toen tot de oprichting van een internationaal overlegorgaan voor de aanpak van overcapaciteit, en een Chinees overheidsplan om in drie jaar tijd 150 miljoen ton aan productiecapaciteit te schrappen. Maar zodra dat doel was bereikt, stapte Beijing uit het overlegorgaan en nam de staalproductie weer toe.

    Grote Chinese staalproducenten vragen zelf om productiebeperkingen, om de prijsdalingen een halt toe te roepen. ‘Het probleem van overcapaciteit is als een zwaard dat boven de staalindustrie hangt’, aldus Tang Zujun, vicepresident van de China Iron and Steel Association, eind 2023. ‘Als het probleem van overcapaciteit niet op de juiste manier wordt opgelost, zal het de concurrentiekracht en duurzame ontwikkeling van de industrie ernstig beïnvloeden

    Chinese provincies kondigden eerder dit jaar productiebeperkingen aan, maar die halen voorlopig weinig uit. De staalproductie in China daalde in de eerste helft van dit jaar met 1,1 procent, maar de vraag daalde nog sneller (3,3 procent). Lokale overheden zijn terughoudend om staalfabrieken streng te reguleren, omdat die werkgelegenheid bieden in moeilijke economische tijden. Kleine staalfabrieken herstarten hun stopgezette productie zodra de controles zijn geweken.

    Thursday, September 12, 2024

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has concluded its administrative review of antidumping duties on stainless steel bar imports from India, covering the period from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023. This review, mandated by the Tariff Act of 1930, aims to ensure fair trade practices by determining if foreign producers are selling goods in the U.S. market at prices below normal value, a practice known as dumping.

    The review focused primarily on two Indian producers/exporters: Laxcon Steels and Aamor Inox. After a thorough examination of sales data and consideration of comments from interested parties, Commerce has issued its final determinations. Laxcon Steels and its affiliates were found to have a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.70%, indicating that their products were sold at prices slightly below normal value in the U.S. market. In contrast, Aamor Inox Limited received a de minimis rate of 0.40%, effectively meaning they were not found to be dumping.
