[Steel] from the steel industry at the current situation of high growth in the export of steel products posture

China Steel Industry Association executive vice president and secretary general of Luo Bingsheng said on the 9th, Before April of this year the domestic crude steel production has already broken through the 150 million tons, an increase of over 20%, in this high growth momentum, At present there are four major iron and steel industry worries : domestic supply-demand balance shaky foundation, the second half will show exports drop Energy-saving enormous pressure to reduce emissions, production costs began to rise.
Luo Bingsheng said that at present China's iron and steel industry of the degree of industrial concentration is not increased to decline, Because local SMEs crude steel production has increased drastically, production above five million tons of the 21 large enterprise groups, Yield April of this year the country has more market share decline last year 1.88%. And the phenomenon behind the strong domestic demand, high export growth of the foundation is not stable.
State Council Development Research Center, a researcher at the Institute of Macroeconomic Zhang replied : At present, domestic steel production overcapacity problem more prominent, and resources constraints on the environment, will lead to the formation of the iron and steel industry mainly rely on the domestic market demand, the model of development.
Survivors said Luo Bingsheng, while the international steel market prices at historically high spaces, However, China's steel exports should control the total production of 10% and crude steel in April of this year the figure for 13.72%.
He predicted that the second half of this year, China's exports of steel products a trend may be, national macro-control measures led to a substantial decline in the export of steel, domestic steel trigger an increase in resources, and the decline of prices, domestic and foreign price differential thus further expands, the strong rebound in exports of steel, state departments may be introduced greater intensity measures to limit exports, which will inevitably lead to sharp fluctuations in the domestic market. damage to the steel industry.
People in the industry believe that the second half of the domestic steel market operation full of variables. State restrictions on the export of steel products, closed down and eliminate backward production capacity of steel production costs are rising instability. It is reported that in April of this year, China's imports of iron ore prices up by 15.61%, and this alone, Let the industry increased cost 1.3 billion U.S. dollars. The latest statistics show that large and medium-sized steel products before April% Cost of sales increased by 32% pig iron production costs increased by 6.8%.
