India–US Trade Tensions Rise Over Steel and Auto Tariffs NMDC Limited reports a 38% drop in Q4 FY24 consolidated net profit RINL to Raise $23 Million Through Land Sales Amid Crisis
Tata Steel expects steel prices in Europe to remain elevated in the coming quarters, driven by rising carbon costs, structural supply constraints, and supportive trade policies. The company emphasized that these market dynamics are not temporary but reflect long-term shifts reshaping the European steel landscape.
Factors such as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which penalizes carbon-intensive imports, and restricted domestic capacity are supporting higher base prices. Tata Steel officials stated that these trends are creating a “new normal” in pricing, with demand stabilizing and costs remaining firm.
With supply from regions like China and Turkey facing trade hurdles, Europe is increasingly relying on local production. This is tightening availability and creating pricing power for domestic steelmakers. Tata Steel, which operates in both India and Europe, is well-positioned to benefit from these shifts.The outlook also signals potential ripple effects on global steel trade, as regional supply-demand balances continue to evolve. For stakeholders across the steel value chain—from manufacturers to end users—understanding these dynamics will be critical in navigating the road ahead.
