Steel prices again on the “insidious trick technique” make things difficult for the Chinese ore negotiations
A chief director by the Japanese hard metal costs of steel ore dialogues, “conspiracy” or will be played over, this will in addition highly severe impairment the welfare of the Chinese steel and hard metal enterprises.
Japanese steel prices conspiracy
April 16, Japanese media reported that Nippon Steel and other major steel producers are working with BHP Billiton and other resources regarding the 2009-2010 fiscal year iron ore contract price negotiations on related matters, is likely to decline on the contract price of iron ore 30 % of the agreement.
In this view, are in circulation in the Productivity Promotion Center, said hard metal analyst Joseph Rongliang, “or the alive of such a prospect, but quite small. If there is, will have to make population believe is a conspiracy.” If the Japanese hard metal costs arrived at 30% steel ore charge accord, then the charge than the site charge should be much higher.
Japan’s iron alloy charges are actually very, very mystified by this move.
April 13, South Korea POSCO said that the consuming expect that steel ore costs this year declined 50% after the China Steel Association has requested to converse steel ore costs down to the foundation 2007 stage, which means that prospecting costs are a least 40%.
“Chinese iron alloy enterprises should powerfully resist.” Rongliang He said that in the present economic urgent position, the Japanese iron alloy market charges should not despite of capability, to accept a little less, but because a large number of equity charges in Japan iron alloy mines, and so murder two birds with one approach can be recounted as — On the one hand, South Korea and other nations considerably boost the cost of iron alloy charges, therefore expanding the Japanese enterprises in the worldwide iron alloy markets, farther expansion in the international market share; On the other hand, charges of iron alloy to Japan, Australia and other overseas excavation portions, up from part of cost of get access to to privileges and concerns, and then counteract the variety of costs.
“Steel costs in Japan the rehearse of enterprise ethics is wholly missing.” Rongliang Joseph said.
Last year, steel prices in Japan is the first and Vale do Rio Doce in iron ore prices 71 percent to reach an agreement, the result of China’s steel enterprises to pay the more than 1400 billion yuan, almost the whole country the sum of the profits of steel prices.
China should solidly state no
“Last year, the bargaining procedure has been demolished, it can be said to stay peeled meat. To do so this year, the dialogues and will be demolished one time over, there is no foundation for the negotiations.” Rongliang He said that the Chinese hard metal enterprises is no longer needed compliance with the earlier practice, the dialogues should move into their own times.
At present, Japan’s hard metal goods produced is about the year 100 million tons, while China inhabits the world’s 1 / 3 of the steel and hard metal goods produced, 400 million tons per year of steel ore deals, much of Japan’s steel ore consumed in large quantities. But the global dialogues on steel ore costs virtually perpetually retain the right to chat in the hands of the Japanese hard metal costs, China’s hard metal costs in a frail location, and not the worth of imported ore and the Japan-South Korea business.
It is comprehended that the present Nippon Steel, Mitsui and other enterprises, for instance considerable overseas Australian prospecting allocations, the Australian steel ore in the 24 greatest Japanese financial gatherings have distilled on eight financial endeavour, equity participation of 16, has been in the progressive manipulate of the upstream hard metal development industry .
So, how can China’s steel enterprises effectively fight back to the original voice of their own?
Rongliang He said, first of all, it is essential to entire the integration of metal ore trade market, businesses need to contemplate the ethics of large companies, in alignment to set a good demonstration of little iron alloy mills, to obey with the provisions of China’s metal ore imports; Secondly, the junction can the forces of the junction should be International Iron and Steel and South Korea, and other interactive businesses; Finally, it is essential to formulate corresponding schemes to better contemplate the standard of capability prices. As long as a firm stand with the Chinese metal ore utilisation is adequate to pattern a resolute impact. At the identical time, in good belief to heal the metal ore enterprise, particularly long-term enterprise partnership.
