Major Russian Steel Holdings in 2009: The Landscape is Changing
Publish date: September 2009 Author: Interfax - Corporate News Agency Report Size: 216 pages, 80 tables and graphs Report Format: PDF Update Frequency:Annual
Steel Business Briefing is proud to present this brand new report by Interfax.
One of the most dynamic and happening steel places in recent years, Russia is the 4th largest producer in the world (in 2008) but it is the 3rd largest supplier to the international export market.

In July 2009 alone it increased actual production by 3% (m-on-m), so furnaces and rolling stands are restarting. It is widely believed most of the big 6 mills are now operating at over 90% capacity (of 2007 levels). This steel material is going somewhere but what will happen in the next 6 months?

Author: Interfax Report Size: 79 pages Report Format: PDF Language available: English
Steel Business Briefing brings you the latest report on the Russian Coal industry by Interfax. Russia’s coal reserves are one of the largest in the world. However it remains a modest producer and exporter of coal globally. In 2008 it mined a total of 326 million tonnes.

On a global scale only Australia and Canada can mine high grade coking coal efficiently. This has sparked interest in Russia’s undeveloped, non-utilized deposits, from countries such as Japan and China.
Domestic steelmaking is the biggest customer of coal after power generation amounting to 28% of the total consumption
Commissioning of new projects and new coal capacity coming on board
Analysis of transportation costs and the challenges facing Russian sea ports and railway systems

Global Industrial Production Watch
Publishing frequency: Monthly Author: CHR Economics Report Size: 8-10 pages Report Format: PDF Language available: English
Steel Business Briefing, together with the specialized consultancy CHR Economics, brings you this new monthly report which analyzes global industrial production.
In uncertain times, economists usually regard the index of industrial production as the true barometer of economic activity. This is the volume (units) of critical items, such as the number of tonnes of rebar, cement bags, kilowatts of electricity or cubic meters of gas, to just name a few, that an economy produces.
A monthly review of industrial production covering all major industrial economies around the world:
Analysis of latest industrial production data covering 49 countries
Commentary on major leading indicators and confidence surveys
Extended commentary covering developments in China
Identification of cycle turning points
Concise, consistent and current
In April 2008, CHR Economics accurately predicted the slow down and a creeping recession we all experienced since July 2008. Today, the same researchers and analysts, in the attached report, see a turnaround, most notably in Asia. They predict a slow recovery is underway.
Global IP Watch has been designed to provide producers and consumers of industrial raw materials with an up-to-date assessment of industrial activity around the world. By focussing on the latest data, readers are alerted immediately to changes in sentiment and rates of growth, pinpointing turning points in the industrial business cycle. While medium to longer-term forecasts are modelled on developments observed in earlier cycles, it is recognised that each cycle has its own characteristics. By closely monitoring the key factors influencing growth, it is possible to modify forecasts in a timely manner providing the earliest possible warning of changes in the rate of global growth.
While covering global economic developments CHR Economics takes a particular interest in the Chinese industrial economy. It has derived its own seasonal adjustment factors for China which provide insight into the actual pace of growth month on month which is not always apparent in the year-on-year data released by China’s National Bureau of Statistics.

Abstract: Global Steel Industry Outlook (GSIO) is a 10 year forecast updated annually. Not only does it provide regional (and key country) demand forecasts, but also looks at key developments on the supply-side. It provides a succinct summary of trends in producer consolidation and capacity growth, and its analysis of regional trade will raise questions about what is likely to happen when demand either slows or turns down.
Besides providing an updated analysis of the nature and prospects for 6 new EU countries, the 2008 outlook also includes a focus on the emerging markets of the Balkans and North Africa, and a review of global trends in white goods production.
Provided that there are no major economic or political crises over the coming decade, this 2008 edition of Global Steel Industry Outlook forecasts:
Global steel consumption will increase to rise by 71% on 2007’s level.
Demand for steel in North America and Western Europe is expected to decline before picking up from the third quarter of 2009.
Demand for steel remains strong in emerging economies.
Tighter capital markets over the next two years could lead to further consolidation in the steel industry.
The focus regions of the 2008 report are the Balkans and Africa. Of these countries, Morocco is expected to show the fastest growth. Egypt is likely to consolidate its position as Africa’s largest steel consumer.
