if masteel can reach RM2, it is good enuf for me le.....if 2.50, i not only laughing all the way to the bank, i be rolling all the way instead......rolling the cash.....lol
heard from BFM radio that China is continuing on their clear sky policy. That is why many analysts are monitoring the steel price because steel goes into many sectors and it is an indication how well the country economy is doing. Seems like they still shut down the mills and I think steel counter outside China will still have some room to run....
the 50% output cut in china will maintain until march. guess this duration no much china rebar can come in malaysia. After march is the peak season for construction activity in china, the demand of rebar will shoot up but the china mills still need some times to increase and maintain smooth output production. I foresee the rebar price at least will maintain high price for 1st half of 2018. what do you guys think?
@titus, Today China government is not the old days China. China had learned a lesson in environment issue. Those steel mills in China are force to install anti-pollution equipment which amounting to USD8 mils for each mini mills with high operational electrical cost and the old mills are force to close. The price of steel is only balance to what it suppose to be. Previously China can produce cheap steel construction bar at the expend of environment, today they have to pay for it.
In Malaysia, I think all steel counters will be enjoying good profit after suffer for so many years. They deserve it. This phenomena will run for many years until China steel companies come to Malaysia to create unhealthy competition again)
Hi Henly, yes, they become more environmentally conscious now. You are right as they are definitely shutting the mills or controlling the mills till the end of March for the upcoming golden week holiday ie; CNY. For the past few years, they have been accused of killing their own citizen because of the smog and pollution. This is definitely a good news for other steel company and hoping it will continue to get better with the removal of unfair pricing from China.
ya ya, last week Chinese government passed the rules on deciding what type of mills can stay operational. it is a very stringent rule. don't remember where i read it, but try google it
