Making a Success of the EU Green Deal with a Green Deal on Steel
29 Oct 2020
EUROFER took part in this 24 hour marathon of panels and press conferences, on the topic of Making a success of the EU Green Deal with a Green Deal on Steel. Europe has the unique opportunity to lead the transformation of its economy to a future in which it is CO2 neutral, environmentally responsible, circular and able to compete internationally, addressing third country trade distortions without inhibition. Steel is central to the EU economy, and it underpins the development of major manufacturing sectors right along the value chain. Our industry sustains 2.6 million direct and indirect jobs in the EU. To make the EU's recovery plan and green transition a success, a Green Deal on Steel should be agreed between EU steel industry and the EU institutions and governments, with a clear action plan establishing a market for green steel in the period 2021 to 2030.

Steel prices buoyant amid expectations of strong Chinese demand
07 Aug 2020
China's auto industry body says July sales are expected to rise 15% YoY. Even excavator sales, which would be an indication for infrastructure and construction activities, are expected to rise, lending buoyancy to steel prices. Chinese rebar prices have jumped from $458/t in March to $538/t now. To cater to the expected increase in steel demand and to also take advantage of the high steel prices, steel mills in India are increasing production. China Iron and Steel Association member mills increased steel output to a record high in late July also due to lockdown days which extended the construction season into late summer. This increase in production has also led to higher iron ore prices which are now at $130/t on the Chinese exchanges.
