]]> The global Steel industry has been through a turbulent phase since July 2008 with the spread of recessionary pandemic. The happenings have affected all quarters of the economy and industry.

The international prices movements has been devoid of certainty being dependant on transitory factors stock depletion and pruned production rather than demand. The prices have shown swings from the heights of USD 1220 per tonne in June 2008 to the depths of USD 280 per tonne March 2009 for billets FOB Black Sea Port. Subsequently market has rallied to attain semblance of stability as the stocks depleted and mills were operating at truncated capacity leading to demand resurrection in the short term.

These tumultuous happenings spurred us to launch a special package on our portal www.steelprices-global.com to aid operators . with a handy and incisive information from a cross section of vital markets viz., CIS (Black Sea Port) , China, Middle East and India for not only keeping a tab on market but take a commercially prudent decision.

]]> Ferroalloys are a vital ingredient in the steel manufacturing being used as a means of introducing these alloying elements into the cast or as de-oxidizers.

As a corollary, ferroalloys market cannot remain unscathed with the happenings in the steel industry. The contemporary fickleness in the international steel market reeling under global recession has a marked impact on the prices of materials associated with it.

Some of the major Ferro Alloy producing countries viz., Chile, China, Peru, Mexico, Canada have been witnessing uncertain price movements. Although India being a minor player owing to a miniscule reserves and production has a major stake as a buyer with ever increasing steel capacities, massive infrastructure development entailing quantum jump in steel demand.

We at www.steelprices-india.com realized that any exercise in keeping a close tab on the steel industry would be grossly incomplete without including ferroalloys in its ambit as it is vital cost component. This will assist steel makers in evaluating their cost competitiveness regardless of the market condition to give the cutting edge.
