Good news: Baosteel has raised prices in March 2013, the 4th straight month of increase)
Global Times reported that Baoshan Iron & Steel Co would raise the prices of its major products in March by CNY 100 to CNY 300 (USD 16.08 to USD 48.24) per tonne, or around 5% of its February price, due to increasing orders and rising costs.
The company just 10 days ago announced a February increase in booking prices for its major products by CNY 80 to CNY 160 per tonne making March the fourth straight month Baosteel has raised its prices. The total increase over the past four months is CNY 500 to CNY 570 per tonne.
Mr Wang Guoqing director at the Beijing Lange Steel Information Research Center told the Global Times that " The price hike reflects an optimistic outlook on steel demand in the first quarter.”
Prices of Baosteel products are regarded as a bellwether for China's steel industry. Other major steel mills, such as Anshan Iron and Steel Group and Wuhan Iron and Steel Group, also raised their prices for February.
Mr Hu Yanping a senior analyst at industry portal custeel.com, told the Global Times that " More major steel makers are very likely to follow suit and raise their March prices.”
Mr Hu noted that orders in the industry have been rising during the past two months, given demand from downstream users is increasing for spring, traditionally a high season for construction and the manufacturing sector.

Baosteel to hike prices 5% in March
15:15, January 23, 2013   
Baoshan Iron & Steel Co (Baosteel), China's largest steel maker by market value, said Tuesday that it would raise the prices of its major products in March by 100-300 yuan ($16.08-$48.24) per ton, or around 5 percent of its February price, due to increasing orders and rising costs.
The company just 10 days ago announced a February increase in booking prices for its major products by 80-160 yuan per ton, making March the fourth straight month Baosteel has raised its prices. The total increase over the past four months is 500-570 yuan per ton.

Hu noted that orders in the industry have been rising during the past two months, given demand from downstream users is increasing for spring, traditionally a high season for construction and the manufacturing sector.
" Most steel makers can sell out their products at present, since inventory has been kept at a low level," Hu said.

Sapphire's 3rd Qtr Performance was poor but it may have turned to black in Q4 2012 based on following article on profitabilty on china steel makers. Let's wait for result to be announced soon.
------------------------
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2013-01/08/content_16093980.htm
China's 80 largest steel makers generated a profit of 3.28 billion yuan ($526.42 million) in November.
Statistics from the China Iron and Steel Association showed that major Chinese steel firms returned to reporting profits in November after bringing a four-month series of losses to an end a month earlier.
In the first 11 months of last year, the 80 major steel makers posted a loss of 1.97 billion yuan, Wang Qinghai, chairman of the association, said during a meeting on Saturday.
Chinese steel makers made meager profits in March, April and May and reported losses in the following months, only improving their performance in the fourth quarter.
Throughout 2012, Chinese steel makers' capital chain continued to worsen as financing costs increased, Wang said.
From January to November, members of the China Iron and Steel Association saw their revenue fall by 5.37 percent year-on-year, while their loans increased by 6.58 percent and their financial costs by 24.38 percent, Wang said.
" The asset-to-liability ratio of the member companies had increased by about 1.64 percentage points year-on-year to 68.67 percent by the end of November," Wang said.
Analysts said they expected the steel industry to extend its good performance into December, but were pessimistic the industry would report a profit for the whole year. |
