Brazil approves new rules for federal gas sales: Update
Brazil approves new rules for federal gas sales: Update
Adds large energy consumers association Abrace's comments. Sao Paulo, 30 July (Argus) — Brazil's national energy council CNPE approved a resolution on 30 July that will allow federally owned natural gas to be sold directly to the liberalized market through auctions, a move the government said could cut gas prices by more than 50pc and boost industrial competitiveness. The measure updates Brazil's policy for marketing state-owned gas and authorizes state-owned commodity trading firm PPSA to hold short-term auctions for 2026-30 and long-term auctions from 2030. The gas will be offered on an economic and competitive basis, with priority given to gas-intensive industries such as chemicals, petrochemicals, fertilizers and steelmaking, the government said. The mines and energy ministry estimates that state-owned gas prices could fall to about $5/mmBtu from around $12/mmBtu currently paid for gas commercialized by state-controlled Petrobras, according to minister Alexandre Silveira. The resolution is part of Brazil's gas-for-jobs program, which aims to increase domestic gas supply and improve competition in Brazil's gas market. The government said studies by state-owned energy research firm Epe indicate that the measure, together with ongoing regulatory actions by hydrocarbons regulator ANP, could generate R95bn ($17bn) in investments and add R79bn to Brazil's GDP. The government also expects the policy to lower gas costs for thermoelectric generation and compressed natural gas transportation. Large energy consumers association Abrace also backed the rules, saying they will create a more competitive environment and provide mechanisms to reduce gas prices for the industry. Abrace also highlighted other advancements made by ANP, such as the wider access to key gas infrastructures , which also help expand Brazil's open gas market.

Rio Tinto advances Australian iron ore mine projects
Rio Tinto advances Australian iron ore mine projects
Sydney, 29 July (Argus) — UK-Australian mining firm Rio Tinto has advanced construction at its Brockman Syncline 1, Hope Downs 2 and West Angelas iron ore mines, expecting to start production at all three mines in 2027, it said today. The mines are due to replace the firm's depleting, older mines . The firm's Pilbara capital investment increased by 34pc on the year in January-June reflecting continued investment in Pilbara projects, it said in its half-year results released on 29 July. The company recorded higher profitability at its Pilbara iron ore operations in January-June compared with a year earlier despite headwinds from a stronger Australian dollar and higher diesel prices. Underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (ebitda) at Rio Tinto's iron ore operations in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (WA) were $7bn in January-June, up by 5pc on the year because of higher realised iron ore prices and increased production. Rio Tinto received an average of $105/dry metric tonne (dmt) cfr China for its 61pc ore and $122/dmt cfr China for its 65pc product in January-June, up from $101/dmt and $113/dmt, respectively, in January-June 2025. Unit costs increased by $0.70/t on the year to $25/t, driven by a $2.10/t headwind from a stronger Australian dollar and a $0.80/t impact from higher diesel prices. This was at the higher end of Rio Tinto's 2026 unit production cost guidance of $23.50-25/wet metric ton (wmt) on a fob basis. Cost headwinds were offset by productivity initiatives that increased plant operating time and allowed Rio Tinto to deliver higher volumes, the firm said. It achieved its highest half-year iron ore production result in eight years in January-June. Full-year iron ore sales guidance for the firm's Pilbara operations remains at 323mn-338mn t for 2026. The Argus ICX iron ore index was last assessed at $97.10/dmt cfr Qingdao on a 61pc Fe basis on 28 July, down from $97.65/dmt on 21 July. Argus last assessed 65pc Fe fines at $113.75/dmt cfr Qingdao on 28 July, down from $114.40/dmt on 21 July.

Taiwan's scrap imports drop in January-June
Taiwan's scrap imports drop in January-June
Shanghai, 28 July (Argus) — Taiwan's ferrous scrap imports rose in June on mills' restocking demand, but overall imports in the first half of the year fell given prolonged weakness in the steel market. Taiwan imported 159,000t of ferrous scrap in June, up by 12pc from May and by 0.7pc from a year earlier, customs data show. Imports for January-June dropped by 20pc from a year earlier to 762,000t. The imported containerised HMS 1/2 80:20 price trended steadily higher from the start of the year until mid-May, with the Argus assessment rising by $64/t to $361/t on 19 May. Optimistic market sentiment encouraged some steelmakers to be more active in the seaborne market, but weak fundamentals still curbed overall imports in the first half. Taiwan imported 360,000t of semi-finished steel in June, up by 36pc from May. Imports for January-June fell by 22pc from a year earlier to 1.35mn t, in line with the reduced scrap imports, reflecting weak steel demand in Taiwan. Scrap imports are likely to edge lower from July as imported scrap prices fell from late May and Taiwanese mills scaled down scrap purchases during the summer electricity restriction period, according to market sources. The US remained the top ferrous scrap supplier in the first half, with volumes down by 21pc at 389,000t. Imports from Japan in the first half fell below those from Dominica, as Japanese scrap prices were higher than those from other origins and mills bought less from Japan. Supply from Dominica and other South American countries rose strongly and filled the gap after Japanese scrap import volumes declined.
