   Australian big three to boost iron ore production
   
   SMH reported that Australia's big three iron ore miners are set to unveil a boost in third-quarter production and will mine even more in the fourth quarter, ignoring forecasts of a looming supply glut in favour of capturing greater economies of scale.
   
   Rio Tinto this month upped annualised output of the steel making raw material by 20% to 290 million tonnes, while BHP Billiton and Fortescue Mining are in the midst of robust expansion work. All three already mine ore at costs well below selling prices thanks to a combination of rich grades and high volumes and see any dip in prices as simply weeding out less competitive rivals.
   
   Rio Tinto, which is set to post 3% rise in Q3 output against the previous quarter to 53 million tonnes is expected to announce a further mine expansion to 360 million tonnes a year by December 3 meeting with investors.
   
   Mr Chris Drew analyst of RBC Capital Markets said that "With the iron ore price holding up well as we move into Q4, we expect to see continuing growth from this key driver of earnings.”
   
   Fortescue is set to unveil 20% output increase to just less than 30 million tonnes for the three months to end September and BHP Billiton 4% rise on October 24 to just less than 50 million tonnes.
   
   Output from the three companies’ accounts for about 70% of the seaborne iron ore trade, feeding strong demand from China that has pushed prices to record levels in recent years.
   
   Despite persistent forecasts for a price fall due to greater supply and slower Chinese demand growth, benchmark 62% iron ore sold for at least USD 130 per tonne for much of the Q3 and now fetches USD 132, sufficient to generate healthy margins.
   
   Rio Tinto and BHP, whose cash costs are projected by analysts at around USD 25 per tonne down from USD 28 in the September quarter, need iron ore prices of only USD 50 per tonne to start generating positive cash flows, when freight and other fees are applied.
   
   Fortescue, which typically sells its ore at a 12% discount to the benchmark price, requires a price of USD 75 a tonne for positive cash flow. BHP is developing new mines with an initial production capacity of 35 million tonnes a year, boosting overall capacity to 220 million tonnes annually by late 2014.

   Staal is "Hot"! :-)
   
   Beurzen optimistisch over begrotingsdeal
   
   Gepubliceerd op 15 okt 2013 om 16:56 | Views: 1.125
   
   AMSTERDAM (AFN) - Op de Europese beurzen heerste dinsdag een optimistische stemming. Beleggers hopen dat er in Washington spoedig een voorlopig akkoord wordt bereikt over de Amerikaanse overheidsfinanciën. Een positief Duits vertrouwenscijfer gaf de handel een extra duwtje in de rug.
   
   De AEX-index in Amsterdam noteerde ruim een half uur voor sluiting 1,5 procent hoger op 381,64 punten. De MidKap klom 0,6 procent tot 586,90 punten. De beurzen in Frankfurt, Londen en Parijs stegen 0,6 tot 0,9 procent.
   
   ,,Het gaat lekker op de markt. Iedereen gaat ervan uit dat het toch wel goed komt in de VS'', zei analist Jos Versteeg van Theodoor Gilissen.
   
   Rio Tinto
   
   In Duitsland bleek dat het vertrouwen van beleggers en analisten in de eigen economie in oktober voor de derde achtereenvolgende maand is gestegen. De vertrouwensindex van het onderzoeksinstituut ZEW steeg deze maand van 49,6 naar 52,8.
   
   In Londen klom mijnbouwer Rio Tinto met 4,1 procent. De ijzerertsproductie van het bedrijf heeft vorig kwartaal mede dankzij een sterke vraag uit China een recordomvang bereikt.
   
   KPN
   
   In Amsterdam profiteerden de staalbedrijven ArcelorMittal en Aperam van het goede nieuws van Rio Tinto. ArcelorMittal voerde met een winst van ruim 4 procent de stijgers aan in de AEX, terwijl Aperam aan kop ging in de MidKap met een plus van bijna 8 procent.
   
   KPN noteerde in de AEX 2 procent hoger op 2,41 euro. Eerder op de dag piekte het aandeel op 2,50 euro. De koers oversteeg daarmee het voorgenomen bod van América Móvil, van 2,40 euro per aandeel. Analisten zagen niet direct een aanleiding voor de stijging. KPN en América Móvil voeren nog steeds gesprekken over de mogelijke overname.
   
   Mecom
   
   Het Britse mediaconcern Mecom klom 43 procent. Het moederbedrijf van uitgever Wegener kwam met sterke derdekwartaalcijfers en verhoogde ook de verwachting voor het gehele boekjaar. Mecom kondigde verder het vertrek aan van topman Stephen Davidson en liet weten dat Wegener en andere bedrijfsonderdelen niet langer te koop staan.
   
   Het Britse modehuis Burberry verloor ruim 6 procent na aankondiging dat bestuursvoorzitter Angela Ahrendts overstapt naar iPhone-maker Apple. BMW steeg in Frankfurt ruim 2,9 procent. De Duitse automaker overweegt de productie van de i3 elektrische auto op te voeren vanwege een sterker dan verwachte vraag naar het model.
   
   De euro was 1,3494 dollar waard, tegen 1,3579 dollar bij het slot van de Europese beurzen op maandag. De prijs van Amerikaanse olie zakte 0,4 procent tot 101,98 dollar per vat. Brentolie werd 0,6 procent goedkoper, op 110,36 dollar.

   Arcelor aan kop
   Staalproducent ArcelorMittal won 4,4% op €11,78. IJzerertsproducent Rio Tinto maakte eerder vandaag bekend een recordhoeveelheid ijzererts te hebben geproduceerd, vooral vanwege groeiende vraag vanuit China. Ijzererts is een grondstof voor staalproductie
   
   Na de moeizame relancediscussie die de regering achter de rug heeft, vraagt MR-voorzitter Charles Michel al extra inspanningen. In de Franstalige krant Le Soir pleit hij onder meer voor de oprichting van ‘vrije zones’ in Luik en Limburg.
   
   Vrije zones zijn gebieden van meer dan 50.000 inwoners, waar meer dan duizend banen verloren gegaan zijn. Die zouden kunnen profiteren van een fiscaal gunstregime om de economie te stimuleren. Na de ontslagen bij ArcelorMittal en Ford, zouden Luik en Limburg daarvoor in aanmerking komen

   WASHINGTON, October 15 (RIA Novosti) – Russian metals giant Evraz will idle operations at one of its US steel mills due to soft demand and competition from imports, a move that will see 375 employees laid off, the company’s North American subsidiary said this week.
   
   “We appreciated our employees’ efforts to operate Evraz Claymont as efficiently as possible,” John Zanieski, executive vice president at Evraz North America said of the mill in Claymont, Delaware, in a statement Monday. “Unfortunately, market conditions continue to be challenging and low market visibility makes it difficult to foresee when positive changes will occur.”
   
   Evraz, part-owned by billionaire Russian businessman Roman Abramovich, acquired the steel-plate producer for $564.8 million in 2008, a year after it made one of the largest investments in the United States ever by a Russian company by purchasing Oregon Steel Mills for $2.3 billion.
   
   Current customers of the Claymont mill will be serviced by Evraz operations in Portland, Oregon, and Saskatchewan, Canada, after the Delaware facility is idled, the company said.
   
   Delaware Gov. Jack Markell told WDEL Radio that the closure is “obviously incredibly disappointing for the couple hundred Delawareans who work there and their families.”
   
   “Unfortunately, this industry is very challenging, and there’s very cheap imports coming in from overseas,” Markell said Monday evening.
   
   The governor told WDEL that he is working with Evraz to examine the possibility of restarting operations at the mill at a later point.
   
   “We’re going to work as best we can with the company to forge a better path, but it’s not immediately clear what that is,” he said.
   
   Delaware lawmaker Dennis Williams told WDEL that he was shocked by the layoffs because of significant resources Evraz had invested into the mill recently, including $17 million to reduce dust produced at the facility.
   
   Evraz, whose North American operations are headquartered in Chicago, owns eight manufacturing plants across the continent – four in the United States and four in Canada – as well as 18 scrap-metal operations across both countries.

   Despite an expected dip in profit, analysts are generally optimistic about Nucor NUE +0.77% as it prepares to reports its third quarter earnings on Thursday, October 17, 2013. The consensus earnings per share estimate is 38 cents per share.
   
   The consensus estimate has dipped over the past three months from 53 cents. Analysts are projecting earnings of $1.34 per share for the fiscal year. Analysts look for revenue to decrease slightly year-over-year to $4.78 billion for the quarter, after being $4.80 billion a year ago. Analysts are expecting revenue to stay flat at $4.78 billion this quarter. For the year, revenue is projected to come in at $18.70 billion.
   
   Over the last four quarters, revenue has fallen an average of 7% year-over-year. The biggest drop came in the first quarter, when revenue fell 10% from the year-earlier quarter.
   
   For three quarters in a row, the company has reported decreasing revenue. In the second quarter, revenue declined 3% to $4.67 billion while the figure fell 10% in the first quarter from the year earlier and 8% in the fourth quarter.
   
   Analysts are generally bullish on Nucor, as eight analysts rate it as a buy and only one analyst rates it as a sell. Three months ago, these numbers were nine and one, respectively.

   October 15, 2013 - 15:54 GMT Location: London
   KEYWORDS: Société Générale , ArcelorMittal , ArcelorMittal Long Carbon Europe
   
   Paris-based Société Générale has given the world’s largest steelmaker, ArcelorMittal, a 'top buy' recommendation and expressed optimism about the European steel sector.
   
   The positive outlook for ArcelorMittal comes hand-in-hand with an 11.3% increase in the value of the company's shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) since Tuesday October 8. The banking and finance company said, on Tuesday October 15, that it had added ArcelorMittal to its premium list last week on the back of several positive indicators

   London, 15 October 2013
   
   MEPS forecasts a recovery in its global steel price over the next three years. In the company's latest long term forecast, it predicts that 2013 will be the low point in this cycle. Consumption should begin to pick up in 2014 as the economic climate improves. Nevertheless, there are a number of difficulties to overcome.
   
   Government spending restrictions in western nations are expected to continue to limit infrastructure and construction activity. Furthermore, concerns are developing over a slowdown in Chinese demand. Moreover, buyers across the world are likely to remain cautious about rebuilding inventories. However, we do expect some degree of restocking next year. Consequently, the average steel price in 2014 is forecast to be above the year earlier figure.
   
   A reduction in iron ore costs is anticipated over the medium term. This could limit the prospects for steel price rises. Nevertheless, domestic mills will, almost certainly, attempt to push through advances in selling figures in a bid to recover profitability as demand levels grow. MEPS, therefore, envisages an uptrend in average annual steel transaction values through to 2016.

    ArcelorMittal very saddened by death of Mr Alain Vigneron at Liege
    
    World's largest steel maker ArcelorMittal on Tuesday said it is "very saddened to learn of the death of Alain Vigneron" and would extend all possible support to the bereaved family.
    
    The steelworker who worked at Liege area of Belgium, as per media reports, facing unemployment had hanged himself at the weekend leaving a suicide note personally blaming ArcelorMittal Chief Lakshmi Mittal for closing plants across Europe.
    
    ArcelorMittal Liege CEO Bernard Dehut said in a statement "I was deeply saddened to hear of the death of Alain Vigneron - my condolences go to his family. We have been aware of the difficulties he had been experiencing for many years and had been providing psychological counselling and support to him. The company is ready to provide all the necessary support to Mr Vigneron's family. I also urge any Liege employees who feel they need counselling to contact our support unit as soon as possible,"
    
    A medical psychological social unit at ArcelorMittal Liege has been in place for approximately 20 years and its objective is to support those workers and their families who are facing difficulties in their professional or private lives, the company said.
    
    Additionally, an emergency call service has been implemented since the announcement of October 2011, concerning the closure of the liquid phase of steel making in Liege. This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it added.
    
    The 45-year old employee Vigneron, as per reports, said in the note accusing Mittal: "He's robbed me of everything, my job, my family. I've fought for 31 years to have even a small something of my own and now I'll lose my job, and how many other families will lose theirs, Mr Mittal?" he wrote as per reports.

    Dalian exchange to start iron ore futures for physical delivery
    
    Bloomberg reported that Dalian Commodity Exchange is set to start trading the first iron ore futures contracts for physical delivery as early as this week as China seeks greater control of price setting for the steel making material.
    
    Mr Wang Weijun a spokesman for the bourse in the northeastern port city said that “Trading will begin as soon as possible and October 18th 2013 is among the dates being considered after the securities regulator approved the listing of contracts last week.”
    
    Chinese steelmakers, the world’s biggest iron ore buyers, earlier this year questioned the reliability of a price index provided by Platts that became a benchmark after producers including Vale SA and Rio Tinto Group scrapped annual contract price talks in 2010. China started its own spot trading platform last year, introducing a weighted average daily price in March.
    
    Mr Wang Yongliang an analyst at Beijing CIFCO Futures Company said that “Trading iron ore futures may take off quickly because investors are already familiar with steel related products including rebar contracts on the Shanghai Futures Exchange.”
    
    He said that “The contracts will be for 100 tonnes have a daily trading band of 4% and be denominated in yuan. Iron ore futures already offered by Singapore Exchange Limeted, CME Group Inc and Intercontinental Exchange Inc are based on indexes rather than the physical commodity.”

    Iron ore may struggle to stretch gains on tepid China steel market
    
    Reuters reported that spot iron ore prices may struggle this week to build on recent gains with Chinese steel mills wary about aggressively replenishing stockpiles given a tepid pace in steel consumption.
    
    Shanghai steel futures were steady and have only gained about half a percent this month after sliding more than 4% in September, reflecting headwinds in the top consumer.
    
    China's exports unexpectedly dropped in September defying a recent slew of data that pointed to a stabilising Chinese economy. Other data showed China's annual consumer inflation hit a 7 month high, limiting the scope for the central bank to support the economy.
    
    A Shanghai based trader said that "There's plenty of iron ore in the market and steel mills are quite cautious, they're not willing to pay higher prices because steel prices haven't picked up yet. I see more downward pressure than upward push for iron ore. The market could test USD 127 in the short term.
    
    According to data compiler Steel Index, Benchmark 62% grade iron ore .IO62-CNI=SI was little changed at USD 133.10 per tonne on Friday. Still, that was the highest level for the steelmaking raw material since September 26.
    
    The most traded rebar contract for January delivery on the Shanghai Futures Exchange was nearly flat at CNY 3,609 per tonne by the midday break.
    
    Iron ore prices rose 1.3% last week as mills restocked after the Golden Week holiday in early October. That was the sharpest gain since the week ended August 16.
    
    There was no shortage of offers on the spot market as miners steadily unloaded cargoes having boosted production. Global miner Rio Tinto is selling another cargo of South African iron ore concentrate at a tender closing later on Monday.
    
    Rio, along with other Australian miners BHP Billiton and Fortescue Metals Group are in the midst of robust expansion work that is expected to be reflected in bigger third-quarter output and even higher production in the fourth quarter. That may have helped boost China's iron ore imports which hit a record high 74.58 million tonnes in September.

    Iron ore deposits could be easier to find
    
    The Australian reported that for many years finding large deposits of the world's most important commodity after oil has been difficult and largely haphazard. Small iron deposits are common but the giant deposits that the big miners are looking for are much harder to find.
    
    The problem is that geologists still don't know how those huge ore bodies form and that makes it hard to look for them. But three new studies may help solve those mysteries.
    
    The University of Alberta's Professor Mr Jeremy Richards and Dr Jamie Wilkinson of the UK's Imperial College have been examining iron ore deposits above subduction zones, where continental plates slide under each other.
    
    Prof Richards argues that large iron ore deposits form when warm magma pockets are shaped by distinct plate movements, surrounded by reactive rocks and are regularly flushed with fresh magma and groundwater.
    
    However Dr Wilkinson thinks large ore deposits form when underground magma is saturated with sulphide which concentrates the tiny trace amounts of metal in the magma. Heat then binds the tiny molecules of the same metal together until masses of gold, iron and nickel and other metals are formed.
    
    Mr William Griffin Professor of Macquarie University, who's been studying the distribution of diamond, gold and metal deposits, believed that the earth's mantle holds the key. He thinks the mantle acts like a mould that guides upwelling magma into pockets. If those pockets and the passages that lead to them from the earth's core are a certain shape and size, and made out of certain materials, then large ore deposits are likely to form when the magma cools.
    
    He said that “The three reviews are the first to give a geochemical footprint for miners and geologists to look for when searching for large ore deposits. They are part of a collection of articles on economic geology, and argue that the search for giant deposits could potentially be made more efficient. The studies will be published in the UK journal Nature Geoscience.”

    AMSTERDAM (AFN) - ABN Amro is het aandeel ArcelorMittal gaan volgen met een koopadvies en een koersdoel van 14 euro. Dat maakte de bank donderdag bekend.
    
    Analist Philip Ngotho verwacht dat het staalconcern een sterke volumegedreven ebitda-groei zal laten zien, omdat de belangrijkste eindmarkten herstellen. In combinatie met het effect van kostenbesparingen en uitbreiding in mijnbouw zal dit een sterke resultaatgroei tot gevolg hebben, zo denkt de marktvorser.
    
    ArcelorMittal noteerde donderdag omstreeks 10.15 uur 1,5 procent lager op 11,59 euro.

    Hardere acties in grootmetaal
    17 oktober 2013 09:20
    De vakbonden bereiden zich voor op hardere acties in de grootmetaal nu een reactie van de werkgevers in het cao-conflict lijkt uit te blijven.
    ''We gaan door met onze stakingsacties'', zegt onderhandelaar Peter de Jong van CNV Vakmensen donderdag.
    
    Bij Polynorm in Bunschoten zullen vrijdag honderden werknemers in staking gaan, kondigde De Jong aan. ''Dat is daar nog nooit eerder gebeurd, dat zegt toch wel iets.''
    
    Werknemers en werkgevers in de metaaltechniek bereikten afgelopen vrijdag wel een cao-akkoord. Maar in het vastgelopen overleg over de grootmetaal zit nog steeds geen beweging. De Jong: ''We hebben de werkgevers afgelopen vrijdag een week bedenktijd gegeven, maar het blijft vooralsnog verdacht stil.''

    In de grootmetaal werken 150.000 mensen in onder meer de automobielindustrie, metaalgieterijen, truckbouw, scheepsbouw, chips- en halfgeleiders, vliegtuigbouw, machinefabrieken en als toeleverancier. De cao-onderhandelingen voor de groot- en kleinmetaal liepen in de zomer stuk op de looneis en andere zaken die de bonden willen realiseren.
    
    FNV Metaal dreigde eerder al met ''hardere acties'' in de grootmetaal. De werkgevers houden volgens de vakbond vast aan ''forse verslechteringen in onder meer de zeggenschap van werktijden en een nullijn voor 12 maanden''.

    ArcelorMittal verwacht opleving in 2014
    ABN volgt ArcelorMittal met koopadvies
    LONDEN (AFN/BLOOMBERG) - ArcelorMittal verwacht in 2014 een opleving in de Europese autoproductie en daarmee een aantrekkende vraag naar staal. Dat zei bestuurder Philippe Aubron, bij ArcelorMittal verantwoordelijk voor de verkoop aan Europese autofabrikanten vrijdag.
    
    Volgens Aubron deden de autobedrijven het dit jaar al goed met de verkoop van de duurdere auto's, terwijl ook de goedkopere varianten redelijk verkochten. Volgend jaar zou de verkoop van het grote middensegment, de gezinsauto's, ook moeten aantrekken. ,,Wij zijn iets optimistischer ingesteld, niet extatisch, maar verwachten in 2014 wel wat herstel''.
    
    ArcelorMittal, de grootste leverancier van staal aan Europese autofabrikanten verwacht dat de verkoopvolumes van autostaal komend jaar met 2 tot 3 procent toenemen. Eerder werd bekend dat de autoverkopen in Europa in september de grootste stijging in 2 jaar hadden gerealiseerd. De verkopen werden gestimuleerd door lagere prijzen en iets betere economische vooruitzichten in veel Europese landen.

    Iron ore prices at risk of decline - UBS
    
    According to UBS AG, iron ore prices are at risk of falling this quarter if a seasonal cut in steel production rates occurs with prices to extend declines into next year amid surging global supply.
    
    Analysts including Mr Andreas Bokkenheuser said that "Beyond the risk of a seasonal pullback in output prompting an ore price correction we have a modestly bearish outlook for prices. Prices will average USD 106 per tonne in 2014 and USD 95 in 2015 from USD 123 this year. UBS had previously projected a correction in the Q3.
    
    Iron ore entered a bull market in July as users in China replenished stockpiles that shrank in March to the lowest level since 2009. Macquarie Group Limited expects prices to push higher to the end of the year amid Chinese restocking while Citigroup said last month it is bearish in the short term.
    
    Rio Tinto reported yesterday record Q3 iron ore output and its expansion in Australia's Pilbara region to 360 million tonnes from 290 million tonnes is under way.
    
    UBS bank forecasts a global seaborne surplus of 154 million tonnes in 2014 from 24 million tonnes this year as production at Australian mines increases.
