    European tube prices increase

    European welded tube prices are soaring by €15-20/tonne ($17-22.7/t) on average compared to June. The increases that most producers implemented last week are now holding, tube makers and distributors tell Kallanish.

    Today tube discounts in Italy, France and Germany are at a level of 36-37 points, an improvement from the discount peaks of 39 point seen in June. “Starting last week we decreased discounts by 2-3 points and we noticed that all mid-sized and small re-rollers followed our strategy as the level of 39 points wasn’t sustainable for anyone,” a large re-roller says.  Each point of discount is the equivalent to €7-8/t, Kallanish notes.

    European tube stocks that were reported as being extremely high in the first quarter are now considerably lower as distributors and service centres bought very little product throughout Q1 2017. This has triggered an increase in orders over the past 10 days. “While Italy and France had a slower response to the increases, the German market, where distributors’ stocks are quite low, had an immediate positive reaction. We registered a clear surge in orders from German buyers last week,” the source comments.

    The producers’ objective is to continue to reduce the discount level to 35 points before the beginning of the August holiday, Kallanish hears.

    Beursblik: Credit Suisse verlaagt koersdoel Aperam

    Koersdoel naar 52,00 euro.

    (ABM FN-Dow Jones) Credit Suisse heeft donderdag het koersdoel voor Aperam verlaagd van 59,00 naar 52,00 euro met een onveranderd Outperform advies.

    De analisten verlaagden het koersdoel in aanloop naar de kwartaalcijfers van Aperam op 26 juli.

    Credit Suisse rekent op een bedrijfsresultaat (EBITDA) van 173 miljoen dollar, in lijn met de winst in het eerste kwartaal van 171 miljoen dollar. Daarmee zou het bedrijfsresultaat afgelopen kwartaal wel 40 procent hoger uitkomen dan in dezelfde periode vorig jaar. Aperam liet zelf al weten te mikken op een vlakke ontwikkeling van de EBITDA op kwartaalbasis. Al met al een "erg sterk kwartaal", concludeerden de analisten.

    De markt zal bij de komende kwartaalcijfers volgens Credit Suisse echter vooral kijken naar de outlook die de fabrikant van roestvast staal afgeeft. Voor dit jaar handhaafde de bank de taxaties voor Aperam, maar voor 2018 en 2019 gingen de ramingen voor de EBITDA omlaag van 701 miljoen en 722 miljoen dollar naar 600 miljoen en 601 miljoen dollar. "Nog altijd erg sterke cijfers", aldus de analisten.

    Op een groene beurs steeg het aandeel Aperam donderdag 1,2 procent naar 42,34 euro.

    Gujarat HC to continue hearing Essar Steel insolvency case today

    The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday heard the Reserve Bank of India (against the plea by Essar Steel challenging the banking regulator's directive to lenders to refer the debt laden company to National Company Law Tribunal. It will continue hearing the cast today when it is expected to deliver its verdict.

    Media reports suggest that RBI presented its case saying

    1. It is not treating Essar Steel differently but following a statutory process to resolve the NPA mess

    2. The company was far from reaching its restructuring stage

    3. Essar Steel misled the court and suppressed facts to get interim relief in the case. Essar Steel was aware of insolvency proceedings initiated against it at the National Company Law Tribunal.

    4. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code is not for winding up a company but to resolve and restructure to avoid winding up. The objective is aimed to recover maximum volume of outstanding in minimum amount of time

    5. If Essar claims it has a resolution plan already, the turnaround story will be considered in the insolvency proceedings at the National Company Law Tribunal.

    Essar Steel moved the Gujarat High Court on July 4 to quash insolvency proceedings against it, initiated by a consortium of 22 lenders led by the State Bank of India. On Friday last week, the High Court had adjourned the case to July 12 after hearing out the lawyers of Essar Steel.

    Experts believe that the verdict could favor the regulator as the company is focusing on technical gaps to delay the legal action against them. Lawyers also believe that RBI could come out winning in this case as the bankruptcy code makes it clear that no civil court could get to weigh in on the matter.

    Essar Steel had a debt of INR 45,655 crore, of which INR 31,671 crore had turned NPAs for banks by March 31, 2016. This had increased to INR 32,864 crore by March 31 this year.

    Steel overcapacity cut in China ahead of target - Official

    Shanghai Daily reported that China has fulfilled the year’s task of cutting steel capacity over the first six months, boosting the nation’s industrial upgrading. Mr Shen Ying chief accountant of the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission said that the nation has reduced steel overcapacity by 5.95 million tons during the first half year, “finishing the year’s task ahead of schedule.”

    Mr Shen said that the measure reflects the country’s commitment to industrial upgrading enhancing industries’ competitiveness by cutting oversupply and adding advanced technologies, Shen said.

    China’s efforts to reduce capacity since the end of 2015 have boosted prices of steel and the profits of steel makers.

    While the capacity cut targeted low-efficiency companies or those producing low-quality steel, advanced steel makers accelerated production.

    US farmers fear trade war if Trump penalizes imports of steel and aluminum

    Journal Sentinel reported that some of the nation’s largest farm groups, with strong ties to Wisconsin, have urged President Donald Trump to not place restrictions on imports of steel and aluminum because it would backfire against US food and agriculture exports. In a letter sent to the Trump administration Tuesday, 18 groups, including the American Farm Bureau and the National Milk Producers Federation, warned that “the aftermath of restrictions on steel and aluminum could be disastrous for the global trading system and for US agriculture in particular.”

    Some of the countries that export metals to the United States also are large importers of U.S. agricultural products, including grain, livestock and dairy commodities.

    The groups said that “The potential for retaliation from these trading partners is very real.”

    But the farm groups worry that every country with a market-sensitive industry could find a national security reason to circumvent trade deals, no matter how flimsy the reason might be.

    The groups urged the administration to “avoid igniting a trade war” through the imposition of restrictions on steel and aluminum imports.

    Their letter to Trump said that “U.S. agriculture is highly dependent on exports, which means it is particularly vulnerable to retaliation.”

    This spring, Trump ordered the Commerce Department to investigate imports of steel and aluminum that have flooded the marketplace and hurt American metal manufacturers. The president has tapped a seldom-used trade law that would allow him to impose penalties on steel and aluminum imports if the Commerce Department determines they jeopardize national security.

    US steel mills and labor unions have said they support the effort, saying it’s about fair trade as well as the nation’s security interests.

    Former Zisco workers receive 40% of month's pay after 8 years

    New Zimbabwe reported that Ziscosteel workers have received 40% of a month's salary after going for eight years without pay. Union leaders revealed Wednesday that, management had recently paid them well shy of half their monthly wages. Ziscosteel joint workers chairman Benedict Moyo said in an interview "The company has availed $400 000 to the workers of ZISCO group of companies. The amount translates to 37, 5% of an individual salary.”

    The workers representative chairman said the money released by management has nothing to do with the recent developments which include the seizure of company property over debts. He told "The money which has been released by the company has nothing to do with the attachment of the company properties. Workers have been receiving the pay-outs, though intermittently.”

    He added that the workers are currently meeting with the government over the issue.

    The ZISCO group virtually collapsed Redcliff steelworks and subsidiaries such as iron ore miner BIMCO, Lancashire Steel, Frontier Steel and Zisco Distribution centre. Majority owned by the State, the company effectively stopped production at its Redcliff main base back in 2009, crippled by corruption, poor management and political interference. Workers have not been paid for years and, 2016, Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa, said they would all be fired without indicating whether any terminal benefits would be paid. The former employees are owed more than $60 million in unpaid salaries dating back to eight years.

Maar de marktvorsers denken nu dat de consensus voor de winstgevendheid voor volgend jaar te laag is, als de ijzerertsprijzen herstellen en er een opleving van de Braziliaanse markt komt.

    Voor 2019 voorziet Deutsche Bank dat de kasstroom van ArcelorMittal zal aansterken, waarmee de schuldpositie van de staalreus kan worden teruggedrongen.

    Op een groen Damrak noteerde het aandeel ArcelorMittal donderdag 2,2 procent hoger.

    Iranian Flat Steel Producers to Supply Total’s Project

    S&P Global Platts citing comments made by Amirhossein Kaveh, secretary of Iranian Syndicate of Steel Pipe and Profile Manufacturers reported that Iran’s consumption of flat steel is expected to increase rapidly as a result of an investment contract with a consortium led by French oil and gas company Total SA to develop Iran’s major South Pars Gas Field.

    Mr Kaveh told Platts that “It is good news for Iranian producers of pipe too. The projects need a huge amount of materials, including steel pipes and we have enough capacity to supply their requirements, which will reduce costs considerably.”

    Mr Kaveh noted that the syndicate had not yet negotiated with Total but that Iranian suppliers of pipes had worked successfully with the oil and gas company before sanctions were imposed.

    In the late 1990s, Total sourced pipe project requirements, including sour gas piping, from Iranian mills.

    He said that “Most Iranian pipe mills are designed to supply the oil and gas sectors. Our cooperation with Total started from the first phase of South Pars Gas Field development projects. Now Iran’s pipe mills are better performers, supplying some of Turkmenistan’s gas pipeline projects.”

    The strategic contract was signed between the National Iranian Oil Company and a consortium comprising Total, China’s CNPC International and Iran’s Petropars Company last week. More than USD 54 billion worth of natural gas and natural gas condensate will be produced by the project, Shana reported.

    The Total-CNPC-Petropars deal is considered the first important international contract to have been signed in Iran’s energy sector, but is not expected to be the last.

    Iran needs some USD 200 billion for financing oil and gas projects under the country’s sixth five-year development plan (2017-22), according to Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh.

    Iran and Total are also close to another deal for USD 2 billion investment in the country’s petrochemical sector.

    According to Iranian Steel Producers Association, Iran produced more than 10 million tons of flat steel products during the last fiscal year (March 2016-17). Hot-rolled coil accounted for 6.98 million tonnes of the total output, relatively unchanged compared to the year before; cold-rolled coil production stood at 1.91 million tonnes, up 9% year-over-year; and coated coil output was 1.1 million tonnes, up 20% YOY.

    HRC consumption during the same period stood at 7.57 million tonnes, down 5% YoY. Consumption of CRC and coated coil stood at 2.38 million tonnes and 4.2 million tonnes, up 1% and 8% respectively YOY.

    Last year’s HRC exports were down 30% to 1.06 million tonnes, CRC shipments were up 91% to 153,000 tonnes, coated coil sales inched up 8% to 28,000 tonnes compared to the preceding year.

    HRC imports during the same period were down 36% to 1.65 million tonnes, CRC was down 9% to 617,000 tonnes and coated coil dropped 16% YOY to 350,000 tonnes.

    UAE and Union Iron and Steel reschedules installation of billet welding unit

    Metal Expert reported that UAE’s rebar producer Union Iron and Steel has rescheduled installation of a billet welding unit for April 2018 instead of Q4 2017. The unit, designed to weld billets together, will give the company an opportunity to increase efficiency of the re-rolling process and as a result to expand the rebar production potential by 25% to 425,000 tonne per year.

    Metal Expert said that the reason for the postponement has not been commented on. Besides, the producer plans to add two new roughing stands which will enable it to change billet size from 130 mm to 150 mm.

    The commissioning of the new stands is planned for November 2017. Currently, Union Iron and Steel plant hosts a 340,000 tpy rebar mill to produce 8-40 mm material. The company purchases billets domestically and imports them from Oman. The finished products are shipped within GCC countries.

    Severstal reports Q2 & H1 2017 operational results
     
    Moscow, Russia - 12 July 2017 - PAO Severstal (MICEX-RTS: CHMF; LSE: SVST), one of the world's leading vertically integrat--ed steel and steel-related mining companies, today announces its operational results for Q2 & H1 2017.
     
    Q2 2017 GROUP HIGHLIGHTS 
     
    ·        Hot metal output decreased 4% to 2.24 mln tonnes (Q1 2017: 2.34 mln tonnes) compared with the previous quarter due to maintenance works at BF#2, BF#4 and BF#5.
     
    ·        Crude steel production declined 1% to 2.83 mln tonnes (Q1 2017: 2.86 mln tonnes). Crude steel output at CherMK was impacted by planned maintenance works at converter #1.
     
    ·        Consolidated steel product sales grew 9% to 2.75 mln tonnes compared with the previous quarter (Q1 2017: 2.53 mln tonnes). During Q2 2017 the Company sold-off stocks of HVA products accumulated in previous quarters, responding to increased demand from local traders which primary reflects the beginning of construction season in Russia. Semi-finished product sales were impacted by the maintenance works at converter #1.
     
    ·        Responding to improved domestic demand in Q2, the Company increased domestic sales volumes to 60% (Q1 2017: 58%) of the sales mix.
     
    ·        Following the refurbishment of the four-stand cold rolling mill at CherMK and the increase in production volumes, cold-rolled coil sales volumes in H1 2017 were up 52% compared with H1 2016.
     
    ·        The company maintained its share of high value-added (HVA) products within the sales portfolio at 44% (Q1 2017: 44%) as increased cold-rolled, galvanized and colour-coated sales were matched by growth in HRC and long product sales.
     
    ·        In Q2 2017, coking coal concentrate sales volumes from Vorkutaugol increased 16%, driven by production volumes growth after scheduled long-wall repositioning at the Vorkutinskaya and Komsomolskaya mines in Q1.
     
    ·        Iron ore concentrate sales volumes surged 54% q/q to 1.24 mln tonnes (Q1 2017: 0.80 mln tonnes). Iron ore pellet sales improved 12% and totalled 2.88 mln tonnes (Q1 2017: 2.58 mln tonnes).
     
    ·        Steel and raw material prices were under pressure due to high inventories in China, but capacity cuts and stable Chinese demand supported the markets. The anticipated supply normalisation in the seaborne hard coking coal market was temporarily disrupted by storm Debbie in Queensland. The final decision by the EU Commission on HRC Anti-Dumping duties expected in October. Russian domestic steel demand is slowly recovering, according to industry sources.

    Scania CV launches new tipper for mining operations in India

    Business Line reported that Scania CV India has launched the new U-BODY tipper designed to increase the productivity in the country's mining sector.

    The Swedish company and a leading manufacturer of commercial vehicles and engines has designed the tipper to suit Indian conditions which brings down the Total Operating Economy.

    The launch of the new CV for coal, iron ore and other mining activities is part of Scania India's commitment to building innovative and sustainable solutions.

    The body design and superior wear resistant steel increases the payload carrying capacity by up to 5% while reducing the fuel consumption by almost 5% due to low self-weight of the tipper body.

    Ms Hanna Johansson Director, Business Support of Scania Commercial Vehicles India said that “Besides being a manufacturer of heavy trucks and buses, Scania is increasingly developing new ways of delivering customer value based on a full service offering that delivers life cycle profitability.” She said that “Our solutions approach will add value to customers and bring down total cost of ownership.”

    Mr Raghavan Srinivasa Director Sales (Trucks) at Scania Commercial Vehicles India, said that “Scania leverages innovative thinking, develops partnerships and works extensively within the logistics flow to capture efficiencies and secure customer profitability.”

    The Swedish company, which is celebrating 126 years of global innovation, is looking at the next phase of growth in India.

    Scania serves mining and construction segments since 2007 through its partnership with Larsen & Toubro (L&T). Scania has two manufacturing facilities in India for trucks and buses with a production capacity of 2,500 trucks and 1,000 buses.

    US auto industry braces for Trump decision on steel

    Crains Detroit reported that US domestic automakers and suppliers are bracing for a possible Trump administration decision to impose steep tariffs on imported steel and aluminum predicated on national security reasons, leading to higher costs and lost sales to foreign competitors.

    Automakers are concerned about the unintended consequences of any restrictions on steel, including a potential decline in domestic auto production and the risk of triggering a global trade war. Retaliation by other countries would make access to raw materials and export markets even more difficult.

    Mr Kristin Dziczek director of industry, labor and economics at the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor said that "Uncertainty is what's problematic for the industry, and the most likely outcome for any remedy proposed is higher prices.”

    While most automotive steel is sourced from mills in the US, many specialty grades come from overseas.

    President Donald Trump on April 20 ordered the Commerce Department to investigate the effects of global overcapacity in steel and aluminum, dumping, illegal subsidies and other factors on U.S. economic security and military preparedness. Steel and specialty alloys are heavily used for armor, vehicles, ships, aircraft and infrastructure.

    Cheap steel and aluminum have flooded the global market in recent years, leading to artificially low prices, a problem the White House and many experts blame on China propping up too many state-owned steel producers. Low profits prevent U.S. steel and aluminum producers from investing in development of higher-grade metals and from retaining a skilled work force, they say.

    The Association of Global Automakers, which advocates for international manufacturers with US operations, recommended in its filing that Canada, the European Union and other countries that haven't engaged in unfair trade practices be exempted from any actions on aluminum. It also argued that any action that affected the price and availability of aluminum would undercut U.S. environmental policies as automakers use more aluminum to reduce vehicle weight and meet federal fuel economy standards.

    The Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association warned that higher steel prices would likely force more production offshore, and said any steel restrictions should exclude specialty steel that is not available in sufficient quantities in the U.S.

    Autoliv, a Swedish-American producer of airbags with plants in Michigan and Utah, also sought an exemption, saying it is forced to import from Romania, Argentina, Mexico, South Korea and China because no U.S. steel mills can produce the ultra-strong specialty tubing it requires.
