Según leo China va a recortar la producción de acero, en que beneficia al IO?
Además va a contraer también el uso de carbón en centrales térmicas cuando es el principal consumidor mundial.
O leí cualquier cosa o todos son muy bullish y yo realista.
Kelui, China tiene serios controles ambientales para combatir la polucion. Para la produccion del acero significa que necesita IO de alta calidad (62% en adelante). El grueso del stock que actualmente hay de IO en los puertos de China es del IO de baja calidad. China produjo en 2016 poco mas de 800 millones de toneladas de acero. Este recorte implica un 5%. Tienen que priorizar utilizar mayor calidad de IO las siderurgicas.
Respecto al carbon, fijate lo que dice en el balance del 4Q16, pagina 82, recorta la produccion e importa mas:
COAL MARKET OUTLOOK
Coking coal prices continued to perform well in 4Q16 on the back of a still strong Chinese demand, production restrictions in China and operational problems at mines in Australia. Prices 73 FOB cash cost at the port (mine, plant, railroad and port). Includes Sena-Beira and Nacala Logistics Corridor. for the low volatility premium hard coking coal quarterly benchmark FOB Australia increased by 116% from US$ 92/t in 3Q16 to US$ 200/t in 4Q16, and also spot prices continued to climb from US$ 133/t in 3Q16 to US$ 262/t in 4Q16.
The coking coal price rally started in 2H16, when China’s supply side reform discouraged local coal production, mainly with restrictions on the number of days of mine operations, as demand for coal, an input for steel production, continued strong. In the year, China's coal production
declined by 11% year-on-year, while its steel production increased by 1.2%. To meet its needs for metallurgical coal, China resorted to the seaborne market, increasing its coking coal imports by nearly 24% year-on-year reaching 59.2 Mt, reversing the decline observed over the two
preceding years.
As the market remained tight, Chinese regulators (NDRC) began to ease production controls in September and decided to lift the 276-day constraint mid-November allowing domestic coal miners to reestablish the 330 days per annum of operation at the mines. Local raw production
rebounded, increasing by 9.3% MoM from 282 Mt in October to 308 Mt in November, and prices started to decrease as well. The NDRC decision was extended until the end of 1Q17.
