China has been the biggest steel producer and exporter in the world. Currently, China wants to improve its air quality and environment. China is now producing just enough steel for its own use and stopped exporting steel. As a result, the price of steel has gone up from US@ 500 to US$ 1,825 per ton, about 300% in the last 1 year, as shown on the price chart below. 


 
A few days, the US bipartisan approved US$ 1 trillion bill for infrastructure construction. A sizable number of law makers were willing to set aside partisan pressure, eager to send billions to their states for rebuilding roads, water supply, pipes, bridges and public works systems that underpin much of American life. 
 
US $ 1 trillion is a lot of money for infrastructure construction. This will definitely help raise the steel price up higher and higher.    
 
Why did I sell and buy back Hiap Teck?
 
Due to Covid 19 MCO lockdown and our political uncertainty, many investors including myself have sold all our holdings. In fact, I posted articles to state that I have cashed out from the stock market about 2 months ago. 
 
But a few days ago, when I saw that Hiap Teck price has dropped to a strong support level as shown on the chart below, I started to buy back at cheaper prices. This simple means that many investors have already discounted the depressive effect of the Covid 19 pandemic and our political uncertainty. It is safe to buy back Hiap Teck. 
 
 
I am not trying to regurgitate Hiap Teck to encourage readers to push up the share price to make me richer. I know many stupid critics will say that when old KYY asks you to buy, you must sell. Please continue to sell so that I can get richer faster. 
 
Hiap Teck shot up from 49 sen to close at 55.5 sen today. It has gone up more than 13% in the last 5 trading days.

Rubbish mah!

If USA 1.2 trillion go ahead, the requirement of steel will be source from USA steel manufacturers mah!

All of u R dreaming that USA will source steel from Leon Fuat, Masteel, Hiap Tek...it is just all rubbish....the steel demand of USA will come to msia for sourcing loh!

What rubbish !!
Who are you to condemn others.
There is not enough steel products for US to buy if 1.7 trillion USD is spend to purchase them.

Once China stops selling steel products below cost, all steel stocks listed in KLSE will make good profit.

Do not think that you are the only guy knows to invest in KLSE.

Msian steel companies also exported steel to US currently, though quantities are small. Can become big if demand increases.
