Australia’s Hancock to cut Roy Hill iron ore production
Australia’s Hancock to cut Roy Hill iron ore production
Sydney, 17 June (Argus) — Australian producer Hancock plans to cut back production at its Roy Hill iron ore mine in Western Australia's Pilbara region, in a move to extend the mine's lifespan by a decade, the firm said on 17 June. Mining activity would be reduced at Roy Hill mine, but it would maintain a production rate of over 63mn t/yr, the company said. Roy Hill produced its first iron ore shipment in 2015 and has an expected lifespan of 20 years. The updated mine plan would extend its life by 10 years, maximise the amount of orebody it could turn into product, and reduce the amount of waste mined, Hancock subsidiary Hancock Iron Ore said. Hancock Iron Ore operates the mine, which was created following the merger of Atlas Iron and Roy Hill, both previously owned by Hancock. Roy Hill shipped 61.6mn t of iron ore over its fiscal year to 30 June 2025 despite record rainfall in the Pilbara and major interruptions from tropical cyclone Zelia, the firm said in October 2025. Argus estimates Roy Hill shipped 66mn dwt of iron ore in the 2022 calendar year, 66.6mn dwt in 2023 and 63.7mn dwt in 2024. Hancock Iron Ore is planning to process an additional 8mn t/yr of ore at Roy Hill from the McPhee Creek mine, with first ore previously expected in the 2026 financial year. This arrangement would also extend the life of the Roy Hill mine, it said. By Emma Partis Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2026. Argus Media group .

European longs steel traders see weaker 2H
European longs steel traders see weaker 2H
London, 12 June (Argus) — Steel market participants are expecting a slower, lower-margin second half of 2026 following the supply-led rally in prices over the first half of the year. Long steel prices in particular rose very sharply in the several weeks following the outbreak of the war in the Middle East, with electric arc furnace mills highly exposed to rising energy costs. Supply constraints and regulatory uncertainty — fuelled first by the launch of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and compounded by impending 1 July tightening to EU and UK steel quotas — drove buyer restocking over the past several months. But now, trading sources note, the attention of steel market participants is shifting from supply over to demand, which is lacking. As per Argus ' assessments, following the outbreak of the US-Israel war with Iran at the start of March, rebar prices rose €167.50/t ($194/t) in Italy by the end of May, and by €100/t in Germany and Spain over the same period. Many traders held significant inventory at the time the war broke out, having stocked up ahead of CBAM, so benefited greatly from the surge in prices. But a source at a major European trading firm said margins in the second half of the year are set to be much weaker, as prices are softening on weak demand. Argus ' monthly German rebar assessment fell by €15/t on 10 June to €695/t delivered, while the weekly domestic Italian assessment has fallen by €25/t so far this month, standing at €705/t ex-works as of 10 June. Market participants have noted that prices for finished products did not match the swift gains of mills' long steel prices over March-May. At the same time, several traders have commented that the steel and other commodity markets have become less reactive to the developments in the Middle East war. Escalated strikes by the US in Iran this week prompted little or no movement in either steel or oil prices. Many market participants are, however, concerned about the medium-term deflationary impact of what they believe would be an oversupply of oil if the strait of Hormuz were to open. For the time being, the European Central Bank's interest rate hike yesterday sets the tone for the next few months — with construction projects already facing elevated material and transport costs, higher borrowing costs will weigh on housing demand.

Western Australia backs 450,000 t/yr EAF steel mill
Western Australia backs 450,000 t/yr EAF steel mill
Sydney, 12 June (Argus) — Western Australia's (WA) state Labor government is set to invest A$9.8mn ($6.9mn) in Generation Steel, supporting the company's planned Collie electric arc furnace (EAF) mill, which will produce 450,000 t/yr of rebar from recycled scrap. The state funds will be matched by Generation and go towards completing pre-development activities after a bankable feasibility study confirmed the project's viability, WA premier Roger Cook said on 12 June. The pledge follows a previous A$4.5mn commitment from the government for the facility. WA issued an expression of interest for offtake-ready low-emission steel products in November 2025. Generation, previously known as Green Steel of WA, is targeting a final investment decision by late 2026, with construction starting shortly afterwards and first steel production within 24 months. The Collie EAF is set to be the state's first steel mill and the first new steel mill to be constructed in Australia in more than 30 years. The state's Pilbara region is the world's largest source of iron ore — the most critical input of steel manufacturing. Australian methane pyrolysis developer Hazer signed a letter of intent with Generation in March to supply up to 85,000t of graphite over a 10-year term, for use in the EAF.

US wholesale inflation surges to 6.5pc in May
US wholesale inflation surges to 6.5pc in May
Houston, 11 June (Argus) — US wholesale inflation surged to an annual 6.5pc in May, led by an energy price spike unleased by the Mideast Gulf war. Prices paid to US producers (PPI) rose to its highest level since November 2022 from an annual 5.7pc in April and 4.3pc in March, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) . Economists surveyed by Trading Economics forecast a median PPI gain of 6.4pc. Wholesale prices started the year at 3.1pc. So-called core PPI, which strips out more volatile food and energy, rose by a more moderate 4.9pc in May, matching its gain in April. On a monthly basis, May marked a second month of 1.1pc PPI inflation, following 0.7pc in March and 0.5pc in February. Core PPI rose by 0.4pc on the month. "This PPI report shows an intensifying shock to goods prices and an uptick in underlying services prices too," Pantheon Macroeconomics said in a note. "We continue to think that inflation will fall sharply around the turn of the year, as growth in wages and rents continues to slow, and as tariff-related price rises continue to drop." The PPI report comes one day after the BLS reported that the consumer price index (CPI) rose by an annual 4.2pc in May, the highest gain in three years. Futures markets show a 98pc probability the Federal Reserve will hold its target rate unchanged at its 17 June policy meeting, with nearly 70pc odds of at least a quarter-point increase by the end of the year. PPI for goods rose by an annual 10.4pc in May following a gain of 7.4pc in April. PPI for services rose by 4.9pc. Energy PPI rose by 36.6pc in May following a 22.7pc gain in April. Energy for export rose by 72.3pc in May following a 50pc increase in April. PPI for finished consumer energy goods rose by 30pc in May after rising 17.8pc in April. Food PPI rose by 2.6pc in May following a 2.2pc gain in April By Bob Willis Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2026. Argus Media group .
