CIS Metallurgical Raw Materials Markets 2012

X annual conference "CIS Long and Wire Products Markets 2012", 23-25 September, Alushta, Ukraine

There is still unstable situation in metallurgical raw materials markets, and despite the occasional bursts of activity, no prominent improvements were observed. Absence of stable demand for rolled steel and semis products, limited utilization rate of blast-furnaces and steel-making capacities have caused low demand on raw materials which doesn’t allow suppliers to hold their positions. In near-term prospect no significant changes are expected – quotations won’t change or will slightly decrease amid low consumption. Demand upturn and price growth are expected since mid August – beginning of September.

At that, dependence of CIS raw materials markets on Chinese index will strengthen, as the number of contracts with price formula is increasing.

Key questions to be addressed:

• World steel and raw materials markets 2013: major trends and impact factors

• Dependence of CIS ferrous raw materials markets on Chinese index

• CIS raw materials outlook: balance state and pricing

• Estimation of raw materials constituent in steel production cost

• Sea shipping and railway transportation of metallurgical cargoes

• NEW! Special session: ferrous scrap market outlook
