WSD Papers
January 6, 2011 Steel ScoreCard #9. (e-mail only) Steel prices up on a higher scrap, iron ore and coking coal costs.
January 20, 2011 Truth & Consequences #59. The Truth: Volcanic rumblings! The consequence: Hot-rolled band price eruption on the world market.
February 16, 2011 Inside Track #111. Volcanic ash (hot-rolled) likely to spew far higher into the iron-o-sphere. Weak steel scrap price a “head fake”.
March 18, 2011 Truth & Consequences #60. The Truth: Steel marketplace CHAOS. The Consequence: Foundation or strong industry performance in H2 2011 and 2012.
March 24, 2011 Steel ScoreCard #10. (e-mail only) Navigating through the pricing CHAOS.
March 31, 2011 Inside Track #112. (e-mail only) Spooked! Steel buyers apprehensive. The world HRB export price, but perhaps not the USA HRB, may be already down sufficiently to reflect the price risk.
April 29, 2011 Inside Track #113. (e-mail only) HRB export price bottoming. No major rebound expected. Spot international iron ore and coking prices likely to weaken this summer.
May 9, 2011 Steel ScoreCard #11. (e-mail only) Prices bottoming. No rebound yet.
May 25, 2010 Truth & Consequences #61. The Truth: Cost is King!. The Consequence: Rising steelmaker costs stabilizing the HRB export price.
June 17, 2011 Inside Track #114. (e-mail only) World HRB export price under pressure. Sizable decline seems unlikely due to the mills high costs.
July 11, 2011 Steel ScoreCard #12. (e-mail only) Prices Continue down moderately.
July 14, 2011 Truth & Consequences #62. The Truth: Steel price stability the illusion. The Consequence: Growing price competition the reality.
August 29, 2011 Truth & Consequences #63. The Truth: Macroeconomic developments highly negative for the steel industry. The Consequence: Lower prices for iron ore, coking coal, steel scrap and hot-rolled band.
September 13, 2011 Steel ScoreCard #13. (e-mail only) Prices bottom, but will they hold?
September 30, 2011 Inside Track #115. (e-mail only) Steel industry and the global economy gripped by fear of the unknown. “Cardiac arrest” is most likely; but, it’s only temporary.
October 7, 2011 Truth & Consequences #64. The Truth: Stagnant or lower steel demand and much reduced steelmakers’ costs in 2012. The Consequence: A “death spiral” not unlikely for the hot-rolled export price.
November 9, 2011 Truth & Consequences #65. The Truth: Steel mills’ cost to procure iron ore is plummeting. The Consequence: World HRB export price may have much further to fall.
November 22, 2011 Inside Track #116. Prices for hot-rolled band, iron ore, coking coal and steel scrap may be far lower by next spring. Global indicators threatening.
December 22, 2011 Truth & Consequences #66. The Truth: Declining fixed asset investment a major negative for steel demand in 2012. The Consequence: Near-term steel price rally, if it occurs, not likely to be sustained.
