SDI expects stable 2Q US ferrous scrap flows
SDI expects stable 2Q US ferrous scrap flows
Pittsburgh, 21 April (Argus) — US steelmaker Steel Dynamics (SDI) expects domestic ferrous scrap flows to remain stable over the next two quarters, after inclement weather tightened supply and lifted prices earlier this year. Harsh winter weather earlier this year disrupted scrap collection rates, processing and logistics, which supported domestic obsolete ferrous scrap prices. Seasonally stronger obsolete scrap flows in April weighed on domestic shredded and #1 HMS scrap prices for the first time since October. SDI's recycling segment posted an operating profit of $47mn in the first quarter, up from $26mn a year earlier, underpinned by higher ferrous scrap prices and shipments. The company shipped 1.47mn gross tons (gt) of ferrous scrap in the first quarter, up by 1pc from a year earlier, though external shipments fell marginally to 553,000gt. Average external finished steel sales prices rose to $1,193/short ton (st), up from $998/st a year earlier, while ferrous scrap costs averaged $396/st, up from $386/st a year earlier. The increase in external steel sales prices outpaced the slight increase in ferrous costs, widening SDI's scrap/steel spreads to $797/st, up by $185/st from a year earlier. SDI has leaned more heavily on low-copper shred and #1 busheling in its melt mixes to help mitigate rising pig iron costs, the company said. Basic pig iron cfr New Orleans reached $495/metric tonne on 14 April, the highest level since June 2023. SDI posted a profit of $403mn in the first quarter, up from $217mn a year earlier.

Rio Tinto posts higher iron ore output in Jan-Mar
Rio Tinto posts higher iron ore output in Jan-Mar
Sydney, 21 April (Argus) — The crisis in the Middle East has yet to impact UK-Australian miner Rio Tinto's cost guidance, while iron ore output rose on the year, the firm said today in its January-March results. The company produced 82.8mn t in the quarter ( see table ), up by 12pc from a year earlier. Pilbara output was at 78.8mn t, up by 13pc from January-March 2025. Rio Tinto missed 13mn t of iron ore shipments in January-March 2025 because one of its railcar dumpers at the port of Dampier was flooded during Cyclone Sean. The firm's 2025 volumes of iron ore fell slightly on the year, because of weather-related disruptions early in the year . Tropical cyclones impacted its Pilbara shipments by about 8mn t this year , and around half is expected to be recovered, Rio Tinto said. Sales rose by 2pc to 75.7mn t, while the firm's full-year guidance for 2026 is unchanged at 343mn-366mn t. First sales for Rio Tinto's Simandou operation in Guinea occurred this month, including the first spot cargo . Production was 600,000t for the quarter. On the demand side, China's crude steel and pig iron production dipped by 1pc compared to the previous year, but other nations' output was up 1pc for January-February, before the US-Iran war disrupted this recovery. Cost guidance unchanged Rio Tinto uses about 28,000 b/d of gasoil, two-thirds at its Pilbara iron ore mine. Its 2026 cost guidance of $23.50-$25/wet metric tonne would not change despite rising fuel prices, the firm said. But energy costs are rising on the iron ore cost curve for higher-cost suppliers whose cost base is typically more sensitive to the gasoil price, Rio Tinto said. Each $10/bl movement in oil prices is expected to raise Pilbara iron ore unit costs by around $0.15/t from May.

Japan to boost recycled materials supply
Japan to boost recycled materials supply
Tokyo, 21 April (Argus) — The Japanese government has adopted a circular economy action plan to strengthen recycling of critical minerals, metals and plastics, aiming to expand domestic supply of recycled materials and reduce reliance on overseas resources, it announced today. The plan targets around ¥1 trillion ($7bn) in combined public and private investment by 2030, as Tokyo seeks to enhance economic security and industrial competitiveness. The government positions the shift to a circular economy as an urgent national priority that goes beyond environmental protection. In the metals sector, the plan sets targets for recycled material supply by 2030. It aims for recycled aluminium to account for around 40pc of domestic production of rolled aluminium products. Recycled sources are expected to make up about 30pc of domestically produced electrolytic copper, while around 30pc of materials used in rare earth-based permanent magnets will be supplied through recycling. For steel, the government will expand the availability of high-grade scrap used as feedstock for "green steel", which is produced with lower greenhouse gas emissions. Processing capacity to produce such high-quality scrap will be increased by around 2mn t/yr, while collection of scrap and industrial offcuts will also be strengthened. In plastics, Japan will promote the use of recycled materials to reduce dependence on imported feedstocks such as crude oil and naphtha. The government will require manufacturers to formulate and report usage plans, and will consider phased mandates on recycled content by the 2028 fiscal year. The plan also calls for strengthening recycling infrastructure, including investment in facilities and the development of AI-based sorting technologies to improve quality and reduce costs. It includes support for recycling hubs, networks, and processing, storage and smelting capacity. The move comes on the back of intensifying global competition for resources. Countries are increasingly seeking to secure not only primary resources but also recycled materials. China has tightened export controls on critical minerals while strengthening domestic recycling, and the EU has introduced stricter rules on exports of electronic scrap and expanded the use of recycled plastics. In rare earth supply chains, export controls by certain countries have raised concerns over supply stability, prompting Japan to accelerate efforts to secure domestic resources. The government will incorporate the plan into its upcoming growth strategy and basic policy on economic and fiscal management to be released this summer.
