Bearish Indian steel market awaits safeguard duty
Bearish Indian steel market awaits safeguard duty
Mumbai, 28 February (Argus) — Mounting global pressures, including impending US tariffs and risks of more imports from Asia-Pacific countries, have fuelled expectations of safeguard duties to shield Indian steel producers hit by falling prices. The near-term outlook for Indian hot-rolled coil (HRC) prices, which fell by 15pc in 2024, remains bearish in the absence of strong demand from consumers and significant government spending. A drop in exports and rising domestic steelmaking capacities have also weighed on prices, squeezing producers' margins. External pressures have escalated recently as several countries put up trade barriers, leaving top steel suppliers such as China with limited options for overseas sales. US president Donald Trump's move to impose 25pc tariffs on all steel imports from 12 March is the latest in a series of protectionist measures undertaken by western countries to protect their domestic industries. Steel market participants anticipate an indirect impact of these tariffs on India, as Asian producers that supplied to the US market will now increasingly turn their attention to the country. India is considered a bright spot for long-term steel demand, given its infrastructure boom and economic growth potential. Ratings agency Icra estimates about 4mn t/yr of steel supplied to the US by Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, which until now had preferential market access, could be partly diverted to high-growth markets such as India. Indian steelmakers are leveraging this situation to push harder for safeguard duties to limit HRC imports, particularly from countries with which India has a free-trade agreement (FTA), market participants said. Under the FTA, no basic customs duty is imposed on imports from countries such as Japan and South Korea, unlike China, which incurs a 7.5pc import duty. Japan and South Korea combined accounted for roughly half of India's finished steel imports of 8.4mn t in April-January, according to ministry data. Total finished steel imports rose by 21pc on the year in the past 10 months. Cheaper imports were one of the reasons for 2024's steel price drop, with Argus -assessed ex-Mumbai HRC prices falling to 47,250 rupees/t ($541/t) at the end of December, excluding goods and services tax, from Rs55,500/t at the start of the year. Inflows slowed towards the end of the year as weak steel market sentiment and the ongoing safeguard investigation kept traders risk-averse. But in February, some consumers booked two vessels of Japanese-origin HRC for as low as $480-490/t cfr India for March shipment. Sluggish domestic steel demand in Japan and the blocked Nippon Steel-US Steel merger has raised the possibility that Japan will sharpen its focus on India, a steel market analyst said. Vietnamese steelmakers Formosa Ha Tinh and Hoa Phat have also received their licence required to export HRC to India, raising concerns for domestic producers. Safeguards a 'temporary' measure Indian mills have asked for a 25pc safeguard duty on flat steel imports, but market participants expect the duty, if imposed, is likely to be about 15pc. Once the duty is imposed, steel mills will increase prices imminently by as much as Rs3,000/t, sources said, but the resulting price increase in the trade market is likely to be temporary, especially if domestic demand conditions remain weak. Lower supply from mills has currently kept a floor on HRC prices, which were last assessed at Rs48,000/t ex-Mumbai today. "Safeguard duties will buy time for steel mills over the next few months to hike prices and sales realisations," a north India-based distributor said. "While mills are confident about safeguards being imposed, the government will have to be cautious as it is also focusing on controlling inflation and supporting small businesses." India's HRC export activity has been weak, with mills not making many formal export offers in recent days. This might be the case because they wish to sell at higher prices domestically once safeguards are imposed rather than sell at lower levels in the export market now, market participants said. "Mills' wait-and-watch approach on exports is one of the reasons why I feel safeguards might be coming," a Mumbai-based trading firm said.

GFG seeks partner in Australian coking coal mine
GFG seeks partner in Australian coking coal mine
Sydney, 28 February (Argus) — British-owned metals firm GFG Alliance is seeking a partner willing to invest in its Australian Tahmoor coking coal mine, reversing plans to sell the site and pay down debts at its Whyalla steelworks in South Australia (SA). GFG will continue to support and develop the 3mn t/yr Tahmoor mine after the capital raise, the company said on 27 February. GFG paused operations at the mine on 7 February for a month, announcing plans to restart operations at the mine in early March. The company has not revealed any change to its Tahmoor restart timeline. The Tahmoor mine had been providing financial aid to GFG's 1.2mn t/yr Whyalla steelworks until SA's state government took control of the steel plant on 19 February, placing it into administration. GFG closed Whyalla throughout much of 2024, over blast furnace issues. The plant, which the company ran through a subsidiary, owes creditors millions of dollars. Australia's federal government has partnered with the SA government to prop up the site through a A$2.4bn ($1.49bn) support package, including a wage guarantee to staff at the steelworks. Both governments are committed to eventually reopening the plant. Argus ' metallurgical coal premium hard low-vol fob Australia price has been declining over the last quarter, falling from $200.30/t on 27 November to $187.90/t on 27 February, when Argus last assessed it.

Mexico manufacturing exports decline in January
Mexico manufacturing exports decline in January
Mexico City, 27 February (Argus) — Mexico posted a trade deficit of $4.56bn in January, as manufacturing exports narrowed sharply at a time of mounting tensions in US-Mexico trade relations. The result, reported Thursday by statistics agency Inegi, was the widest monthly deficit since last August and compares with a $2.57bn trade surplus in December. Mexico exported goods valued at $44.45mn in January, down from the $51.7bn exported in December. This was largely due to a 14pc decrease to $39.77bn in the value of manufacturing exports in January from the previous month, with auto exports dropping 17pc to $12.47bn, the lowest in more than two years. The decline came despite the threat of 25pc US blanket tariffs on Mexican goods, in part due to seasonal base effects. Nevertheless, "the region's supply chains operated at full capacity" to avoid higher costs should the Mexican peso depreciate with the US tariffs, said Mexican bank Banorte. The bank added, "nervousness continues" over possible tariffs on Mexican exports with US president Donald Trump saying the tariffs would be implemented on 4 March. Bilateral meetings are ongoing to reach an agreement avoiding tariffs. Car tariffs Beyond the blanket tariff, Mexico is also facing a possible 25pc global tariff on US imports of aluminum and steel, effective 12 March, and possible targeted 25pc tariff on autos and other goods from 1 April. Nissan's global chief executive Makoto Uchida has said the company would have to analyze its production in Mexico if tariffs are enacted. Mary Barra, the chief executive of General Motors, said the company may shift production from Canada to Mexico should tariffs be applied on Canadian autos. Inegi reported the value of oil exports in January was $1.66bn, consisting of $1.2bn in crude sales and $457mn in other oil-related products. This compares with crude oil sales of $1.75bn in December. The average price of the Mexican crude oil mix for export stood at $67.57/bl in January, $2.27/bl higher than in December, but $3.57/bl lower than a year earlier. Meanwhile, Inegi reported daily crude export volumes averaging 573,000 b/d in January, lower than the 864,000 b/d in December and down from 982,000 b/d in January 2024. Agricultural goods represented $2.17bn of Mexican exports in January, up slightly from $2.15bn in December. The value of imports in January decreased only 0.2pc to $49bn, with lower imports of consumer and capital goods offsetting a small increase in intermediate goods.

UK steelmakers seek greater import protection
UK steelmakers seek greater import protection
London, 27 February (Argus) — UK steelmakers are concerned about potential trade diversion from the US and EU and are pushing for rapid measures to curb imports, sources suggest. The US is imposing 25pc tariffs on 12 March, while the EU steel safeguard review is expected to meaningfully reduce import volumes. As a result, UK Steel, which represents mills, told Argus current import quotas have been "liberalised year after year when UK steel demand has been shrinking, so there is real concern that the protection offered is not adequate". "We are reviewing options for tightening our current safeguards and working on a proposal to government for continued protection from trade diversion following the eventual expiry of steel safeguards," it added. One of the potential options could be a blanket tariff on all imports, outside of hot-rolled coil (HRC) for downstream processing. This could be the quickest and most viable solution to the threat of diversion, given the time it can take to adjust quota volumes, according to some sell-side sources. Atypical HRC suppliers have started offering into the UK recently, potentially because of the uncertainty surrounding the EU safeguard review and the ongoing dumping investigation against Egypt, Japan, India and Vietnam. Japanese HRC has recently been offered at about £500/t ddp West Midlands, when it is not typically seen in the market. Korean HRC has also been offered. Korean cold-rolled coil, and hot-dip galvanised in particular, have been offered at aggressive prices for a number of months. "This government will not allow the end of steelmaking in the UK, which is why we've committed up to £2.5bn of investment to rebuild the industry, while our plant for steel consultation will examine the long-term issues facing the industry," a Department for Business and Trade spokesperson said. The business secretary and industry minister continue to meet with the industry to "secure a green steel transition that's right for the workforce", the spokesperson added. Any blanket tariff could be justified on the grounds of national security or decarbonisation, sources suggest. In the case of the latter, it is not clear how less pollutant steel should be handled, or how you classify material rolled from blast furnace-based semi-finished steel in other regions.
