NEGATIVE EU STEEL PRICE SENTIMENT CONTINUES BUT UPTURN EXPECTED SOON
There is very little activity at present in an EU market that is oversupplied for today’s subdued level of demand. Economic weakness has caused consumption to shrink. Basis values have continued to soften over the last month as buyers stay away because they remain unconvinced that the bottom has been reached. This is despite claims by some steelmakers that increases of up to €40 per tonne must be applied to cover production costs.
Sales volumes are expected to improve at the start of 2013 because customers traditionally begin rebuilding stocks during this period. As a result, MEPS predicts an uptick in selling figures in the first quarter. Anticipated improvements in the supply/demand balance, together with rises in raw material costs, should also support higher prices.
