After looking in 2021 like it would enjoy a robust recovery from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the global steel market has been rocked by a confluence of factors in 2022. Rising energy prices, soaring inflation, US monetary tightening, Covid-hit Chinese demand and, of course, the outbreak of war in Ukraine have combined to bring a swift halt to economic recovery and tip global markets towards possible recession. Chinese suppliers have returned to the export market and are competing with India for business in Vietnam and the Middle East. Indian mills enjoyed lucrative deals in the EU earlier this year but were hit by a 15% export duty imposed in May, as well as falling European demand once the initial Ukraine war shock had worn off. Various EU blast-furnace based flat steelmakers have thus been forced to curb production, while Indian mills have brought forward summer maintenance stoppages. Nevertheless, on the demand side, India looks to be one of few bright spots for future growth, thanks to massive government infrastructure investment. Hopes for Chinese economic stimulus in 2022 are meanwhile gradually fading as the government continues its heavy-handed zero-Covid policy that results in regular lockdowns and stifled economic activity. The automotive industry is meanwhile taking longer than initially anticipated to recover from components shortages, which have been exacerbated by the Ukraine war. And, with Covid restrictions easing and social life returning, consumers are spending less income on home appliances and more on high-contact service activities. The energy crunch is nevertheless sure to accelerate the transition to renewable energy, which will in the longer term require substantial steel to construct the necessary infrastructure. The war in Ukraine has taken a major flat steel supplier out of the market, while Russian product is not keenly bought on international markets due to a combination of economic sanctions, banking restrictions and buyers self-sanctioning. The market panic originally caused by this development has now subsided and transitioned into widespread economic gloom. How have disrupted trading patterns and economic sanctions impacted global flat steel trade? When will automotive production recover? Will more steelmaking capacity need to be idled to balance supply with lower demand? How will the US trade deals with the EU, Japan and UK impact trade? To what extent will CBAM protect the EU market and limit EU mills’ ability to export? What does the future hold for the global coil market? All these issues and more will be discussed in this session by top steel industry executives.
Format: 10-12 min presentations + Q&A
Coil prices have been on a rollercoaster ride since the beginning of 2022. After steadily declining throughout the second half of 2021 and into 2022 as supply rebalanced with demand following the shock of Covid-19, values ballooned again at the end of February following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In some regions, such as Europe, prices reached all-time highs in March, exceeding previous peaks in 2021. Prices have now normalised and fallen below the levels seen in February prior to the surge. This, coupled with regular logistics disruptions, has caused major challenges for coil buyers’ procurement and cost management. On the one hand, spiralling energy costs and inflationary pressure are making production more expensive, while, on the other, slowing economic growth and talk of a possible recession are subduing steel demand and seeing mills in some regions cut production. These production cuts extend to mills in China, which also curbed output last year, the difference now however being that cuts are self-imposed because demand is weakening considerably. The fading likelihood of substantial economic stimulus is unlikely to change this. Were China to export its surplus output, however, this could severely depress global prices. A favourite export market of Chinese and other Asian suppliers, the Gulf Cooperation Council, is meanwhile investing in some 4 million tonnes/year of new hot strip capacity, which is likely to somewhat dampen intercontinental trade. Despite its ferrous export duty imposition, Indian mills have managed to continue HRC exports by alloying steel with boron to circumvent the measures. The boron-added HRC is however not being readily accepted by all markets, most notably the EU. The union made limited changes recently to its safeguard tariff-rate quotas, applying quotas to countries such as Vietnam for such products as hot-dip galvanized coil. How will this change affect trade and pricing in the EU, and what knock-on effect will it have on global markets? Will Indian mills successfully pursue boron-added HRC exports? To what extent have low-priced Russian offers impacted global steel pricing? How likely is China to export surplus steel this year amid low domestic demand, and what effect will this have on pricing? To what extent will the steel-demand balance be disrupted by new capacity in some regions? How successful will suppliers be in passing costs on to steel sales prices given the possibility of a global recession? This session will bring together distinguished panellists to discuss these topics and more.

The world is undergoing an energy transition, driven mainly by climate concerns, which will impact the entire economic spectrum. The energy-intensive steel industry accounts for about 8% of global CO2 emissions and is at the forefront of investments into new low-carbon technologies. The EU, in particular, is tightening its Carbon Emissions Trading System and has tabled plans to implement a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. These are designed to motivate EU steelmakers to invest in reducing emissions, as well as encourage global producers who supply to the EU market to do the same. The Chinese government has also pledged environmental commitments, but these have been overshadowed this year by efforts to ensure economic stability amid the somewhat brutal impact of China’s zero-Covid policy. In a blow to regulating emissions in the US, the Supreme Court recently ruled that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not have the authority to mandate carbon emission caps for extant power plants. Following the outbreak of war in Ukraine and subsequent sanctions on Russia, meanwhile, prices of fossil fuels have soared. This has underscored the need to move to renewable and sustainable energy sources. Numerous steelmakers across the globe are turning to hydrogen as the fuel of the future, with hydrogen-fuelled direct reduced iron feeding renewables-powered EAFs being the production route of choice. The technology required for hydrogen-based steelmaking exists but production of green hydrogen using renewable energy remains expensive in many regions. These costs will come down with time, but in the short term, low-carbon steel is likely to be significantly more expensive than traditionally produced steel. How likely are consumers to accept this increased cost? To what extent will governments across the globe be compelled to provide policy support for steelmakers’ low-carbon ambitions? To what extent can existing natural gas infrastructure be repurposed for use with hydrogen? How will industry solve the renewable energy storage question, given there will be periods of reduced energy production? Is the EU carrying out its transition too hastily and thereby penalising steelmakers? How can policy be adjusted to take into account EU steel exports outside of the bloc? India and ASEAN are seeing a spate of new blast furnaces being commissioned. Will these assets ultimately end up stranded or can they be adapted to suit global climate goals? This session will aim to answer all these questions and discuss the opportunities and challenges behind decarbonising the steel industry.

Considering the unhinged volatility in steel prices this year, steel buyers have had very difficult purchasing decisions to make. Many distributors and service centres rushed to buy product following the outbreak of war in Ukraine, when mills temporarily stopped offering and prices skyrocketed, but have only just received delivery of this material, now that many product prices are back to pre-war levels. Those buyers who stocked up at the beginning of the year have profited. Certain end-use sectors such as construction, meanwhile, were forced to pause or reduce activity because prices of steel inputs soared far above budget. How are distributors able to manage margins given their high-priced inventories and current lower price expectations of buyers? How have importers adapted to the cutting off of Russian steel supply and disruption to Ukrainian supply? How have end users been able to ensure continuity of operations amid prohibitively high steel input costs? The automotive industry meanwhile continues to be constrained by semiconductor shortages, which are expected to last well into 2023. How has this impacted service centres whose business is geared towards automotive, and what are they doing to mitigate the impact? What is the outlook for automotive production beyond 2023? Will the current pent-up demand for cars result in production growth and therefore rising demand for automotive sheet? With life seemingly returning to normal in most regions outside of China after the Covid-19 pandemic, meanwhile, consumers are spending less income on home appliances and more on high-contact service activities. The white goods sector is thus forecast to be a drag on steel-using sectors’ output growth in 2022. What are the prospects for the sector beyond this year? The outbreak of war in Ukraine has dented prospects for economic growth globally, but nowhere more so than in Europe due to its geographical proximity and dependence on Russian gas. The blow this has dealt to confidence puts a big question mark over new investments in the short term. The looming energy supply crisis expected to hit Europe this winter also spells trouble for industrial production, as gas will be rationed and households prioritised over industry. What does this mean for production at end users in the continent? A potential global recession is meanwhile likely to impact end-use activity in all regions, although India’s economy has been a bright spot in 2022, supported by government spending. How likely is this to absorb excess Indian steel output amid export duties? How is end-user industry output being affected in Turkey after the country significantly increased electricity rates from July? Are Turkish flat steel-consuming end users able to procure sufficient feedstock tonnages from the local market, or does this continue to be a problem like in earlier years? This session will bring together a range of steel buyers and end users to discuss all these topics and more.
