3. Egyptian steel sales drop despite discounted rates - 11 Mar, 2010Top
It is reported that sales of local and imported steel bars dropped by 70% this week despite reduced prices. Experts were unable to explain the dip in sales, as demand remained high until the end of last year.

Meanwhile, the public sector steel company raised its prices by EGP 50 per tonne to sell for EGP 2750 per tonne in light of a global increase in the cost of raw material.

Mr Hashem El Degwy a steel dealer said that demand is too low, though the product is sold at wholesale prices. Imported steel is sold for EGP 3100 per tonne while some local produce is sold for EGP 3150 per tonne.

Nevertheless, Ezz Steel said that it would continue expanding its plant in Ain Sokhna. The Egyptian Brass Company said hat it is injecting some EGP 22 million to modernize its aluminum galvanization production lines.

The Moroccan Steel Company will invest USD 500 million in an effort to bring Morocco's total steel production up to 2.5 million tonnes per year.

The Saudi al Raghy Group will increase its production by 1 million tonnes per year with an investment of SAR 800 million. Similar expansions will take place in Qatar and Syria to increase production levels.

25. Molybdenum prices to rise on market uncertainty - 11 Mar, 2010Top
Record nickel prices are one of the key drivers. Scarce inventory has forced ThyssenKrupp AG, the world's largest stainless steel manufacturer, to start reducing the company's use of nickel. Further cuts are being contemplated.

Finnish austenitic provider Outokumpu plans to increase production of ferritic stainless steels. Ferritic steels continue to use molybdenum, but are nickel free. Outokumpu recently released a low-alloyed duplex stainless steel, trademarked LDX2101, with low nickel content, but balanced with manganese, nitrogen and molybdenum. Allegheny Ludlum began campaigning for greater manganese use earlier this year in stainless steel products.

According to the International Stainless Steel Forum, the fastest growing type of stainless are those grades absent the nickel content, or with lesser nickel in the composition.

Mr Dan Janikowski GM of Plymouth Tube said that "This year, at the pace we are going, we will sell more of this tubing than we've ever sold before. We are working at a record pace."

According to Janikowski and Edward Blessman, technical director of Trent Tube, the major business with respect to the North American power plant market comes from re tubing worn out or eroded copper nickel tubes in the plant's steam condensers. These come in the form of life extensions for both nuclear and fossil fuel plants.

In the May 2007 Monthly Stainless Steel Report prepared by Damstahl®, the company forecast that molybdenum ore supply is expected to increase by only 12% to 460 million pounds by 2009.
