Govt Enforces ‘Melt and Pour’ Rule for All Steel in Public Projects Nippon Steel expected to finalize U.S. Steel acquisition at $55 per share NMDC Limited reports a 38% drop in Q4 FY24 consolidated net profit RINL to Raise $23 Million Through Land Sales Amid Crisis
In July 2024, Chinese blast furnaces encountered significant financial losses due to declining revenues from rolled steel sales. The steel industry has been facing a challenging market environment marked by an oversupply of rolled steel and diminished global demand. This oversupply has driven down prices, impacting the profitability of steel producers.
Volatile raw material costs have further complicated the situation, squeezing profit margins even tighter. As a result, many steel manufacturers have struggled to cover their production costs, leading to increased financial strain. The sharp drop in rolled steel prices has also led to concerns about potential long-term consequences for the industry, including possible production cutbacks and financial restructuring.
This downturn reflects broader trends in the global steel market, where fluctuating demand and supply imbalances have created a difficult operating environment for producers. However, the industry is not backing down. It is determined to adapt to these market pressures and seek strategies to stabilize and potentially recover from these losses, inspiring confidence in its future.
