US inflation quickens to 3.3pc in March, gasoline soars
US inflation quickens to 3.3pc in March, gasoline soars
Houston, 10 April (Argus) — US inflation surged to an annual 3.3pc in March, lifted by higher war-driven energy costs, including the largest monthly gain for gasoline on record. The consumer price index rose at the fastest pace since mid-2024, climbing from 2.4pc in the 12 months through February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The gain was in line with estimates of economists surveyed by Trading Economics. Energy rose to an annual 12.5pc in March compared with a 0.5pc annual gain in February. The 10.9pc monthly gain in energy was the largest for a single month since September 2005. Gasoline surged by an annual 18.9pc in March after falling by 5.6pc in February. Gasoline's monthly gain was 21.2pc, the largest monthly gain since records began in 1967, according to BLS. Fuel oil rose by 44.2pc in March from a year earlier, following a 6.2pc annual gain in February. The 30.7pc monthly gain in fuel oil was the highest monthly gain since February 2000, according to BLS. Energy services rose by an annual 5pc in March compared with a 6.3pc gain in February. Electricity rose by 4.6pc compared with a 4.8pc gain in February. Airline fares rose by 14.9pc following a 7.1pc gain the prior month. Core drop, flat Fed rate still expected So called core inflation, which strips out more volatile food and energy, rose by 2.6pc compared with a 2.5pc gain the prior month. "Looking ahead, core CPI inflation still looks set to fall this year, now that nearly all the tariff costs have been passed through to consumer prices, unit labor costs are rising at a sub-2pc pace, and new rents are essentially flat," Pantheon Macroeconomics said in a note. Fed funds futures suggest the Federal Reserve is likely to keep its target rate unchanged at 3.5-3.75pc through the end of the year, with about a 24pc probability of one quarter-point rate cut by December and just a 1.1 point chance of a rate hike. Services less energy services, considered core energy services, rose by 3pc compared with a 2.9pc gain the prior month. Medical care services rose by 3.7pc following a 4.1pc annual gain. Food rose by an annual 2.7pc following a 3.1pc gain. Meat rose by 6.8pc, down from 8.6pc. Shelter rose by 3pc, unchanged from the prior month. New vehicles rose by 0.5pc while used vehicle prices fell by 3.2pc in March from a year prior, both unchanged from a month earlier.

Japan’s scrap export tender hits 3‑year high in April
Japan’s scrap export tender hits 3‑year high in April
Shanghai, 9 April (Argus) — The Japanese scrap dealer cooperative Kanto Tetsugen export tender continued its strong upward momentum in April, reaching its highest level since March 2023. A total of 10,000t of H2 scrap was awarded at ¥54,329/t ($342/t) free alongside ship (fas) today, up by ¥4,208/t from March, Kanto Tetsugen said. This is equivalent to ¥55,329/t ($348.5/t) on an fob basis. The tender cargo is likely to be shipped to Bangladesh again, market participants indicated, combined shipment with shindachi cargoes to optimize freight costs. The seaborne market was surprised by the tender result as it was far above expectations. Prior to the tender, most overseas buyers were targeting below ¥52,000/t fob for H2, even as available offers remained limited. In the domestic market, H2 prices were around ¥51,000-52,000/t, while dockside collection prices stood at ¥51,000-51,500/t fas. Traders are now watching how much Tokyo Steel will raise its domestic purchase prices in response to the sharply higher tender outcome. Most Japanese traders expect the tender result to drive export offers higher, although it remains uncertain whether overseas buyers can match these levels. "Export negotiations will become increasingly difficult due to the widening price gap," a Japanese trader said. The Argus daily assessment for H2 scrap fob Japan stood at ¥51,300/t on 8 April, compared with a March monthly average of ¥48,950/t fob.

Iran steel supply unlikely to benefit from ceasefire
Iran steel supply unlikely to benefit from ceasefire
London, 8 April (Argus) — Iran's steel production is unlikely to recover swiftly despite the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran late on Tuesday that could bring relief from higher energy prices and potentially enable shipping to resume through the strait of Hormuz. Damage to major Iranian steel producers Mobarakeh Steel and Khuzestan Steel after air strikes at the end of March have resulted in the companies halting production because of extensive damage to their plants. Repairs and the resumption of output is expected to take months, which is likely to tighten the supply of products to the semi-finished steel markets, to which both mills are large suppliers, with a combined production capacity of around 14mn t/yr. This could in turn keep slab and billet prices elevated — fob Asia slab prices have increased by $24/t since the end of February, while cfr Asean billet prices have risen by $30/t, according to Argus assessments. Iranian prices have also strengthened, with a deal concluding $26/t higher for April shipment compared with March-shipment prices. But the ceasefire announcement could bring some production cost relief in the form of lower energy prices, based on initial market reaction. European gas prices plunged at market opening on Wednesday, with front-month futures at Europe's benchmark Dutch TTF hub nearly 20pc lower, while the front-month Ice June Brent crude contract fell by around 16pc. Lower crude prices weighing on fuel oil markets and the prospect of shipping through the strait of Hormuz resuming could also benefit producers and exporters by pulling freight rates lower. Some steel producers in Asia and Europe, particularly of long products, raised prices throughout March because of higher energy costs, while a number of seaborne suppliers increased offers on a cfr basis to account for surging freight and logistics costs. The ceasefire has had no immediate impact on steel prices today, some traders said, but others noted that the euro strengthening against the US dollar has affected import prices — an offer at $700/t cfr would work out around €10/t lower at today's rate compared with the end of last week. "The risk [for Hormuz] to remain blocked is still too high if the ceasefire will be interrupted. So I guess shipowners will not accept cargoes from the Gulf," a trader said.
