JSW cautiously optimistic about global steel market
JSW cautiously optimistic about global steel market
London, 23 October (Argus) — Indian steelmaker JSW Steel has expressed cautious optimism about global steel demand in its latest financial report. JSW highlighted several positive signals that could support the global economy and steel demand. The IMF has raised its 2026 global growth forecast to 3.1pc from 3pc, while US demand is being supported by artificial intelligence-related projects. China's manufacturing sector continues to expand and EU purchasing managers' index trends are strengthening. India remains the fastest-growing major economy, with the Reserve Bank of India raising its financial-year GDP growth forecast to 7.1pc from 6.7pc. Indian crude steel production rose by 2.9pc year on year to 85.1mn t in the first half of its April 2026-March 2027 fiscal year, India's steel ministry said. September production increased by 1.9pc on the year to 13.9mn t. Indian finished steel consumption increased by 7.6pc year on year to 85mn t in April-September and by 7.7pc to 14.4mn t in September alone. Ongoing conflicts and global inflationary and fiscal concerns continue to weigh on the market. But "looking ahead, easing geopolitical tensions could lead to reconstruction-led demand and boost growth", JSW said. The company's revenue rose by 17pc year on year to 501.9bn rupees ($5.3bn) in the second quarter of the 2026-27 Indian fiscal year (July-September). JSW Steel's crude steel production across its Indian and US operations increased by 5pc on the year and by 10pc on the quarter to 7.27mn t in July-September, the company said earlier this month . Its Indian production rose by 5pc on the year and by 11pc on the quarter to 7.07mn t. JSW Vijayanagar Metallics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JSW Steel, produced 1.24mn t of crude steel and sold 1.23mn t during the quarter. Its No. 3 blast furnace reached around 90pc utilisation, supporting higher production. Fellow JSW subsidiary JSW Steel Coated Products produced 1.19mn t and sold 1.24mn t. JSW's Ohio electric arc furnace produced 224,933t of slab at 62pc capacity utilisation, with production reduced by a scheduled shutdown for electrical upgrades and maintenance. Its Texas operations produced 109,953t of plate and 23,846t of pipe, with respective utilisation rates of 42pc and 17pc. JSW's Italian rolled long steel production rose by 29pc quarter on quarter to 70,079t, following a shutdown at its rail mill in the previous quarter. JSW's board has recently approved several investments, including a second 5mn t/yr steelmaking phase at its Utkal plant in Odisha. The unit is scheduled for commissioning in the first quarter of the 2030-31 fiscal year. The first 5mn t/yr steelmaking phase at Utkal is scheduled for commissioning in the third quarter of the 2029-30 fiscal year. The JSW board has also approved a new 8mn t/yr pellet plant at its Vijayanagar site, and a 1.8mn t/yr cold-rolling complex and 1.2mn t/yr metal-coating facility at its Vasind steelworks. The Vasind additions are scheduled to start up in the second quarter of the firm's 2029-30 fiscal year. JSW is expanding the capacity of its Dolvi steelworks from 10mn t/yr to 15mn t/yr, with completion targeted for September 2027.

US Steel approves $3bn Mon Valley expansion
US Steel approves $3bn Mon Valley expansion
Pittsburgh, 22 October (Argus) — US Steel's board of directors has approved roughly $3bn to expand and upgrade a hot-strip mill at the US integrated steelmaker's Mon Valley Works plant near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The investment will upgrade aging equipment at the Mon valley site and increase the plant's capacity to approximately 3.5mn short tons (st)/yr of flat-rolled steel from 2.2mn st/yr, the Nippon Steel subsidiary said on 22 October. The upgrades will also expand the range of steel products that can be produced at the plant. Initial production is expected to start in late 2029, although US Steel is waiting on required permits to begin construction. The upgraded strip mill also promises to be more efficient by reducing steel cutting, scrap flows, waste production and fuel usage. The investment comes alongside a planned $100mn slag granulator project at the Mon Valley mill. That project aims to cool and process blast furnace slag, a waste product of steelmaking, into a finished material that can be used in cement and construction.

EU steel mills propose €100/t 2027 auto contracts rise
EU steel mills propose €100/t 2027 auto contracts rise
London, 19 October (Argus) — Some European flat steel producers have proposed a €100/t increase in first half 2027 automotive supply contract negotiations, market participants told Argus over the past week. A EU mill had offered at €860/t for hot-rolled coils (HRC) and €960/t for hot-dipped galvanised (HDG) to some original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Negotiations are ongoing, and will progress this week during an industry event in Germany. "Material will be missing from the market, but we have to see what demand will be like," one steel mill source said in reference to the negotiations, adding that the mill intends to offer three-digit price increases for next year too. "It is possible that a double digit increase close to €70/t may be accepted by buyers when compared to last year's negotiations," one tier 1 automotive supplier said, adding that "Mills have been slowly but surely scaling up production so they will feel some pressure to sell". The proposed hikes are on the back of spot market prices moving this year as a result of trade restrictions. The Argus Northwest EU HRC index has increased from €626/t ex-works on 2 January to €739.50/t on 16 October – an increase of over 18pc since the start of the year. Prices have gradually moved up throughout the year, dipping slightly at the end of the second quarter, while buyers were receiving material for stockpiling before 1 July when more restrictive import quotas entered into effect. The quotas have successfully slashed imports – in July-August HRC imports amounted to just under 800,000t, or 400,000t average per month. The monthly average in January-June stood at close to 780,000t, with second quarter arrivals April-June peaking at a total of 2.75mn t. While the EU has tightened import steel quotas this year, it has continued working on measures for downstream steel-consuming sectors on calls from associations and stakeholders. Last week news emerged that the EU is preparing a four-year safeguard regulation for an annual quota on Chinese hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles of 350,000t/year. The wider EU automotive industry has continued to push for changes to the EU's industrial and automotive proposals, with Germany's automotive association VDA saying a recent German-French deal is a positive step but still falls short on measures needed to support competitiveness and investment, including provisions on green materials and renewable fuels. Steel association WV Stahl has been more critical, calling for more moderate emissions rules and arguing that the proposed changes would weaken incentives to purchase green steel.

US inflation quickens to 3.7pc in Sept. on energy surge
US inflation quickens to 3.7pc in Sept. on energy surge
Houston, 14 October (Argus) — US inflation accelerated to an annual 3.7pc in September, led by higher energy costs as the Mideast Gulf war intensified. The consumer price index (CPI) rose from 3.4pc in August, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Headline inflation was last higher at 4.2pc in May and had fallen since then. Analysts surveyed by Trading Economics had forecast a median gain of 3.6pc for September. So-called core inflation, which strips out food and energy, rose by 2.6pc in September, up from 2.4pc. The energy index rose by 20.4pc in September from a year earlier and was up from 16.3pc the prior month. Energy commodities rose by an annual 35.3pc, up from 28pc the prior month, the BLS said. Gasoline rose by an annual 34.2pc, compared with 27.4pc the prior month. On a monthly basis, gasoline rose by 9.1pc in September, accounting for over half of the monthly gain in the headline index, BLS said. Fuel oil rose by 74.2pc in September from a year earlier and was up from 52pc the prior month. Services less energy services, considered a core services measure, rose by 3.1pc, up from 3pc. War-driven rise Inflation has been accelerating since the US-Israeli war on Iran broke out at the end of February, as energy flows through the strait of Hormuz and nearby Red Sea have been constrained. Rising borrowing costs in the US and elsewhere amid accelerating inflation is raising sovereign debt loads to levels that the IMF this week warned poses a threat to global financial market stability. Following the release of the BLS report, the CME FedWatch tool showed a 53.7pc probability the Federal Reserve would hike its target rate by a quarter point at its next meeting on 28 October, up from 22.1pc on Tuesday. Odds of one or two hikes by December were at 96pc Wednesday. The Fed raised its rate by a quarter point at its meeting in September, the first increase since 2023. On a monthly basis, prices rose by 0.6pc in September, up from 0.4pc in August and compared with 0.1pc in July. Core prices rose by a monthly 0.3pc in September, matching the gain in August and up from 0.2pc in July. Electricity rose by an annual 4.4pc in September, up from 3.8pc in August. Piped gas rose by 5pc, up from 4.4pc. New vehicle prices rose by 0.6pc, unchanged from the prior month. The food index rose by an annual 2.5pc, easing from 2.7pc the prior month. Shelter rose by an annual 3.2pc in September, up from 3pc. Transportation services rose by 2.7pc in September, compared with 2.4pc in the prior month. Airfares rose by 22.4pc, easing from 23.4pc.
