Base metals ease on expectationsof stimulus packages

Base metal prices trading on London Metal Exchange(LME) ended higher on Friday (August 17) with theanticipation of eurozone and China will issue furthereconomic stimulus packages. It was also supported bya weaker dollar and expectations that central banks maytake new steps to stimulate their economies. Marketparticipants were particularly impressed with a statementmade by German Chancellor Angela Merkel to supportECB's President Mario Draghi's efforts to fight theeurozone crisis. As a effect, the base metal exhibitedpositive gains across all the metals. Besides, marketparticipants speculated that Federal Reserve chairmanBen Bernanke will announce further stimulus at the bank'sJackson Hole meeting in September. Three-month coppercontract trading on LME climbed up to $7,554 during theday and settled at a price of $7,539 per tonne. It hastouched the the highest price during the month followingthe European consumer price figures rise and Germanchancellor Angela Merkel reiterating her statement thatpolicymakers will do whatever they can to save theeurozone. LME copper inventories fell a net 700 tonne to234,550 tonne, with 500 tonne leaving St Louis and smalleramounts leaving Chicago and New Orleans.Aluminium three-month contract remain range bound toclose at $1,857 from its earlier day closing at $1,852 pertonne. During the day it has also touched the lowestlevel of $1,843. Aluminium was also higher, gaining $4 to$1,857 and rebounding further after hitting a three-yearlow at $1,827.25 Thursday.

Gold rises on positive global cues, silver surgesThe prices of gold rose at the domestic bullion market on Friday (August 17) due to hecticstockist and investor buying supported by festive season demand and higher global cues.Silver also surged further on speculative demand following heavy buying from industrialusers. On Friday, standard gold (99.5 purity) climbed up by Rs 135 to close at Rs 30,040 per10 grams from Thursday's (August 16) closing level of Rs 29,905. Pure gold (99.9 purity)rose by Rs 130 to end at Rs 30,175 per 10 grams from Rs 30,045. The prices of silver ready(.999 fineness) rose by Rs 430 per kg to finish at Rs 54,665 from Rs 54,235.On Friday the most active gold for October delivery on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX)was up at Rs 30,172 per 10 grams, not far from a record high of Rs 30,428 hit in June. Thegains were capped by a rise in rupee, which determines the landed cost of imported gold."Unless we see significant correction in prices, demand is likely to remain sluggish," said aMumbai-based bullion dealer with a private bank.Gold demand in India is likely to fall by a fifth in the second half of 2012 from a year ago onhigher prices and as weak monsoon rains hurt incomes of rural households, a senior WorldGold Council official said.India is facing its second drought in just four years, which can drive up food prices and erodespending power, crimping demand for goods from tractors to gold. More than half thepopulation relies on the rural economy. Investment and jewellery demand from Indianconsumers plummeted 38 per cent to 181.3 tonne in the second quarter of 2012.

Jharkhand despite investorssigning memoranda ofunderstanding with states in2008," a senior Steel Ministryofficial said.Concerned over the slow pace ofwork on these, the Steel Ministryapart from taking up the matter withthe state governments has askedMinistries like Environment,mines, shipping, railways andhighways to extend cooperationin removing hurdles inimplementation of the schemes,the official said.Of the 35 projects, four each are inOdisha and Jharkhand whileremaining 27 are in Chhattisgarh,the official said adding the projects

are facing hurdles like landacquisition, law and orderproblem, delays in minesacquisition and grant of forestclearance besides poorinfrastructure.Apart from these, some of themega projects, including thoseproposed by ArcelorMittal andPosco, have failed to see the lightof the day even after six-sevenyears, as they could not acquireland and get regulatory clearancesamid opposition from local people.Meanwhile, an inter-ministerialpanel on July 27 reviewed theprogress made in major projectsin which officials from key

Green movement to spur performance contracting marketThe emerging performancecontracting (PC) market inIndia is expected to growsignificantly over the next fiveyears on the back of higherinvestments in infrastructure,focus on energy efficiency inthe existing infrastructure, andactive participation of apexregulatory bodies in promotingenergy efficiency.New analysis from Frost &Sullivan analysis ofPerformance Contracting inIndia, finds that the marketearned revenues of Rs 1612.8million in 2011 and estimates thisto reach Rs 3011.5 million in 2015,at a compound annual growthrate of 16.2 per cent.The PC market will beinfluenced by end-userconcerns about climate change,the need for energyconservation due to acutepower shortage, and austeritymeasures employed by Indianbusinesses. With the Ministryof Environment taking concretesteps to reduce CO

"They canoffer PC in the triplet industrialcluster states of Gujarat-Madhya Pradesh-Maharashtraand Tamil Nadu-Karnataka-Andhra Pradesh, which are themajor consumers of electricitydue to the presence of energy-guzzling end-user segments."The increasing load shedding inIndian states have intensified thegovernment's efforts to reduceemission intensity of the grossdomestic product (GDP) by20-25 per cent by 2020, from the

levels witnessed in 2005.This, along with theratification of the EnergyConservation Act in 2001,can be translated intobusiness opportunities forinvestment firms andcommercial banks.Recognizing the potential ofthe market, buildingautomation/ managementsystem (BAS/BMS)companies have beenproactively bundling PCservices with energy-efficientequipment supplies."Savvy participants canconsolidate their position in themarket by arriving at a commonbusiness interest with theentities in an ESPC project andhaving a strong understandingof the technology, contractterms, and inherent risks," notedthe Analyst.Analysis of PerformanceContracting in India is partof the Building ManagementTechnologies GrowthPartnership Servicesprogramme, which alsoincludes research in thefollowing markets: Analysis ofPerformance Contracting inMiddle East (GCC), IndianFacility ManagementServices Market, Middle EastFacility Management ServicesMarket, Middle EastMechanical, Electrical andPlumbing Services Market,Indian Lighting Controls andSystems Market, and MiddleEast District Cooling Market.All research services includedin subscriptions providedetailed market opportunitiesand industry trends that havebeen evaluated followingextensive interviews withmarket participants.

crore had been earmarked formodernisation this year. Salemplant's expansion had alreadybeen completed and some of themajor facilities in Rourkela wouldbe ready in the near future. Thecoke oven battery and the largestblast furnace in the countrywould be operational in theRourkela plant by November. Thesteel rolling mill at Bokaro steelplant, which had a trial run,would begin commercialproduction before the end of thisfinancial year.The chairman further said that

SAIL would soon come out withan expression of interest (EoI)for outsourcing operations andmaintenance of a few cokeoven batteries.It proposed to set up a 10 milliontonne capacity pelletisationplant and half of it would bethrough a joint venture or BOO(build, own and operate) basis.He said the scenario for the steelindustry in the country was notthat gloomy in spite of the globaleconomic slowdown and it wascomfortably placed to meet thedemand. Pointing out that steelcompanies were expanding their

capacities, he said about 10-15million tonne of capacity wasexpected to be added this year.Mr. Verma, who is also theC h a i r m a n - c u m - M a n a g i n gDirector of NMDC, said NMDCwas planning to acquireoverseas mines in Russia, LatinAmerica and Africa. It hadrecently acquired 50 per centstake in an Australian iron oremine, Legacy.He said NMDC proposed todouble its capital expenditurefrom Rs.1,534 crore in the XI Planto Rs.30,072 crore in the currentPlan period.

infrastructure ministries andrepresentatives from SAIL, RINL,Monnet Ispat, Jindal Steel,ArcelorMittal etc participated. Thesteel ministry is concerned thatdelays in projects would result inIndia failing to meet the projected

demand of 145 million tonnes(MT) by 2015-16.The demand for steel in India, asper estimates, has crossed 110 MTand would further grow to 200 MTby 2020 and 500 MT by 2050. Asper the official, the ministry isconcerned that if capacity addition

is delayed, India - the cheapestproducer of steel in the world - willhave to import 50 MT of steel inthe next few years.The country'ssteel production capacity hasreached 80 MT per annum and itplans to ramp it up to 120 MTPAduring the current fiscal.

NMDC posts Rs 1,906 cr net profit in Q1NMDC has posted a record net profit of Rs 1,906 crore during thefirst quarter ended June 30, 2012 a six per cent growth compared withRs 1,801 crore in the same quarter last year. The iron ore major hasachieved a turnover of Rs 2,840 crore (Rs 2,782 crore), a marginalincrease over the comparative quarter. The earnings per share stoodat Rs 4.81 compared with Rs 4.54 per share last year. During thequarter under review, production of iron ore jumped 12 per cent to 6.9million tonne while the sales stood at 6.2 mt, almost on par with thecorresponding quarter of the previous year. For the year 2012-13, acapital expenditure of Rs 4,656 crore is planned to be incurredincluding Rs 1,200 crore for overseas acquisitions, a press releasefrom the Hyderabad-based public sector undertaking said. The boardof directors of NMDC had met under the chairmanship of C.S. Vermalast Monday. Mr.Verma said: "NMDC would be recognised not onlyas an iron ore mining major but also as a key enabler of the steel andinfrastructure industry"."The installation of 3 MTPA steel plant at Nagarnar in Chhattisgarh,as part of NMDC's forward integration programme and value-addition,is being pursued vigorously. The orders for major packages worthRs 12,842 crore have already been placed while other auxiliarypackages are in advanced stages of finalisation", he further added.

Fitch downgrades Uttam Galva Steel to negativeRating agency Fitch has downgraded the outlook of Uttam GalvaSteels Ltd to 'negative'. The outlook revision reflects Uttam GalvaSteel's continuing high financial leverage levels of four times equity,"Fitch has said. The company had debt of Rs 2,797 crore on its booksat the end of 2011-12. Uttam Galva Steels is a leading producer ofgalvanised and cold-rolled products. The global steel major Arcelor-Mittal has 33.80 per cent stake in the company. Fitch also has positivethings to say about Uttam Galva Steels. It notes that while the debtlevel in 2011-12 was high, the improved production facilities will leadto an improvement in the business profile of the company, helpingthe company "to mitigate profitability pressures."Fitch has also taken a positive view of the fact that Arcelor-Mittalprovides technical support to Uttam Galva. Arcelor-Mittal sells UttamGalva's products in several countries. Fitch expects the links betweenthe two companies to "strengthen further, based on its (Fitch's) beliefthat Uttam Galva Steels would be part of Arcelor-Mittal's longer-termIndia strategy."

RINL first quarter PAT at Rs 150 croreThe Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited)earned gross profit of Rs 361 crore and profit after tax of Rs 150 croreon a turnover of Rs 2,976 crore during the first quarter, according toa press release. The improvement in financial performance in Q1 hasbeen mainly due to growth in production viz. 7 per cent in hot metal,6 per cent in liquid steel, 9 per cent in power generation, 5 per cent invalue-added heats and 7 per cent in oven pushings respectively.A.P Choudhary, the CMD of the RINL, said that during Q-1 theperformance improved overall, even though production got affectedin June due to power restrictions by the State grid. The financial targetsset in the MoU for the Q1 (2012-13) had been achieved, he added.

JSPL and Bolivian Govt to settle disputeThe Bolivian government and Jindal Steel & Power (JSPL) arereportedly moving closer to sorting out their dispute even as bothaccuse each other of cheating. Sources said the Bolivian governmentwants JSPL to hold talks at the Indian embassy in Peru. Bolivianmines minister Mario Virreira has invited JSPL for reconciliatory talkson the matter, but the company wants the meeting to happen at aneutral place or through video-conferencing due to the prevailingsituation in the country. JSPL has named Brazil, Chile and Spain aspossible venue for talks. "Why can't the Jindals organise a meetingwhen they have the Indian ambassador in Peru with them in thedelegation? Then, they won't need to be worried about gettingarrested in Bolivia," asked a source close to the Bolivian government.

Lloyds Steel report Q1 net loss of at Rs 31.57 croreLloyds Steel has reported a net loss of Rs 31.57 crore for thequarter ended June 30, 2012, on account of high expenditure. Thecompany has been making losses for quite some time now. Duringthe corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal, it had reported anet loss of Rs 80.69 crore, while its loss for full year 2011-12 wasat Rs 73.45 crore. It's total expenditure, during the quarter was atRs 1,382 crore, about Rs 20 crore more than company's total incomeat Rs 1,362.42 crore. Lloyds has a steel making capacity of 1 milliontonne per annum (MTPA), which includes 0.7 MTPA hot rolledcoils and 0.3 MTPA cold rolled coils. It also has an engineeringdivision which designs and fabricates hydro, power and steelplants. The company also has an un-operational iron ore mine inthe Gadhchirolli district of Maharashtra.

In an attempt to meet the risingdemand for steel, Indian industryneeds to have a funding agencyexclusively for the steel sector onthe lines of Power FinanceCorporation (PFC), who isorganising funding for powersector. As per the latestrequirement, India's steel makingcapacity currently stands ataround 80 million tonne perannum (mtpa). It is beingprojected to go up to 200 mtpaby 2020. To meet such hugedemand, there is not a singlefunding agency for steel sector,like PFC or REC in power.Therefore, we need to have suchan agency for the steel sector asemphasised by SAIL Chairman,C S Verma recently. According toindustry estimate, around $ 1billion is needed for creating 1

mtpa capacity, which wouldrequire an investment of $ 120billion in the country's steel sectorin the next 6-7 years."We don't have any specific bankor institution for steel sector andalmost every bank has reachedthe maximum exposure limit forthe sector. Now, there is so muchfunding required. Where do weget the money from?" C S Vermasaid. The Indian governmentshould have thought of this longago. Though it intends to jack upthe country's steel makingcapacity to 200 mtpa by 2020, itis yet to take any initiative whichwould have help the industry toraise capacity," said an official ata leading private sector steel firm.Besides, Foreign DirectInvestment (FDI) in the steelsector has been lagging despite

massive investment intentions bysome major global steel majors. Inorder to ensure sufficientavailability of financial resourcesfor the growth of the industry, it isimperative to review steel relatedsectoral caps for the bankingsector," it had said.The working group on steelindustry for the 12th Five YearPlan, which pegged Rs 2.5 lakhcrore investment in the sector upto 2017 for adding 60 mtpacapacity, had raised concernsabout the means of funding inthe sector. "Government may also considereasing of norms connected withexternal borrowings. Specialpurpose long-term financingfacility may be created to financehuge investment in new steelplants," it said.

India's steel imports arecontinuing to rise on domesticconsumption of steel. This wasdespite the recent hike in importduty on certain category of flatalloy products. Recently, thegovernment had raised thecustoms duty from five to 7.5 percent on imports of certaincategory of products to ensurethat both alloy and non-alloysteel attract the same level ofduty. The rise in imports can beattributed to growth inconsumption, which stood at7.7 per cent in the first fourmonths of the current fiscal whendomestic production grew by 3.3per cent. India's total steelproduction during the periodstood at 25.01 million tonne,

India's July steel imports moves up 21%while consumption was peggedat 24.3 million tonne.For the first four months of thecurrent fiscal year (Apr-July),steel imports from Korea andJapan were up 36 per cent to 2.5million tonne over thecorresponding last period's 1.88million tonne. According to thelatest provisional data from theJoint Plant Committee (JPC),India's total import of non-alloyor carbon steel products grew upby 37.3 per cent to 1.96 milliontonne for the period while alloysteel imports were up 32 per centat 6.01 lakh tonne. During themonth of July, total steel importswere up by 21 per cent at 5.69lakh tonne.Thanks to the lower import duty

of five per cent on alloy steelagainst 7.5 per cent for non-alloy,many import consignments ofnon-alloy steel treated werebeing categorised as alloy steel.India continued to be an exporterof steel products, but theshipments were down 23 per centto 1.2 million tonne for the period.Steel consumption grew at six percent in 2011-12. For the currentfiscal, large steel makers like SAILand Tata Steel expect domesticconsumption to grow between8-9 per cent.The World Steel Association(WSA) in its short range outlookfor 2012 has predicted a reboundin Indian steel demand peggingthe off-take at 6.9 per cent to72.5 million tonne.

Fitch, the rating agency has revisedits outlook on Tata Steel Ltd fromstable to 'negative. According theFitch report stated that the outlookrevision reflects Fitch's view thatprofitability pressures will remainfor Tata Steel and Tata Steel UKHoldings Ltd, given thechallenging short-term outlook forthe global steel market," Fitchreport announced last Friday.Tata Steel UK Holdings has takenvarious initiatives to improve itsprofitability. These includeimprovements in operationalefficiencies, upgradation of

Fitch revises outlook on Tata Steel to negativefacilities and technology, focus onhigher value-added product mixand improvements in supply chainmanagement, notes Fitch. However,the fluctuations in raw materialprices and the weak demandfor steel in Europe concernthe rating agency. Fitch notes thatthe demand for steel is slowingdown due to tepid demand in theuser industries.Further, Tata Steel will derive onlypartial benefit from its additional3 mtpa brownfield expansion in2012-13 as the full benefits will cometo the company only in the next

year. While Tata Steel's fullyintegrated operations will give itstrength, "any significant andsustained drop in steel prices mayhave a negative impact on theperformance of the consolidatedentity," Fitch said.Fitch, however, has drawn comfortfrom the "strong liquidity" of theTata Steel-Tata Steel UK combine -bank balances of $2.4 billion andaccess to un-drawn lines of creditof $961 million. "Also, limitedrepayments at Tata Steel UK in thenext three years also supportliquidity," Fitch notes.

Plagued with rampant illegalmining, the Goa Government hasdecided to implement aninformation technology-basedsystem to prevent its valuableresource being exported illegallyand evading royalty. The draftmining policy, tabled on the floorof the House during the recentlyconcluded State Assembly session,has assured a 'Mines ManagementSystem' in place, which has beenmade to arrest illegal iron oreexports. The Goa Mines andGeology department has decidedto implement this Information,Communication and Technologybased system, keeping in view thescale of operations involved inmining of iron ore and its exports.Under the new policy, the existingsystem of administration andregulating mining in the State wouldbe replaced by the ICP-based'Mines Management System'. The

system is expected to track iron oreconsignments from its source - themining lease or stockyard - to thedestination which can be eitherports, stockyards or domesticconsumers, including steel orsponge iron plants. It will alsomonitor delivery of eachconsignment or iron ore at thedestination through a mechanismof acknowledgement throughelectronic information exchangebetween origin and destination, theMines and Geology Departmentsaid. The system will ensure thatthe end-user, which is the exporteror steel plant, is aware about thesource of the iron ore and thegenuineness of the permits bycreation of a central database thatis updated in real time, online andavailable to other controllingdepartments including forests,customs, police, revenue andports, the department said.

MMR Landed Prices is a neutral pricing mechanism for the domestic market. Currently, this has beendeveloped for copper products, aluminium, lead and zinc. These prices are derived from LME Rates andtake into account premia on CIF, duties and other costs.

MMR Landed Prices = CIF Value + Duty + Other Costs

Thus, MMR Landed Prices provide a realistic estimate of landed costs of imports and as such, arecomparable with domestic producer prices. Details on the calculation of MMR Landed Prices can befound in the explanatory notes alongside. For the convenience of users, two sets of Prices, includingand excluding excise duty, have been provided.

We urge readers to use MMR Landed Prices as a barometer of domestic prices, just as LMErates are synonymous with international prices.

Chalco swings to first-half loss on lower pricesAluminum Corp of China Ltd (Chalco) said it swung to a netloss for the first half of the year, as falling aluminium prices, aslowing domestic economy and higher expenses took their toll.The unaudited result, included in an interim earnings briefing tothe Shanghai Stock Exchange ahead of the formal release of thecompany's first-half figures on August 24, bodes ill for Chalco'sfull-year outlook as it confronts oversupply and weak overalleconomic growth. China's biggest alumina and aluminiumproducer by output said its net loss for the six months endedJune 30 totalled 3.25 billion yuan ($512 million), reversing from anet profit of 413 million yuan a year earlier.

Meanwhile,China's imports of unwrought aluminium and aluminium productsin July was 97,651 mt, up 38.7% year on year and up 9% fromJune. The country imported 711,363 mt of aluminium and aluminiumproducts in the first seven months of the year, up 34% from a yearago. Aluminium scrap imports in July were 230,000, up 4.6% yearon year and up 9.6% month on month.

Hindalco records 34 pc decline in net profitslikely to continue in the comingquarters as well. In addition, otherincome jumped 69% to Rs 301.43crore. Had it not been for thissharp rise in the company's non-core income, net profit wouldhave been lower.The aluminium volumes weredown due to problems with thegrid at Hirakud and Renukoot.At the same time LME (LondonMetal Exchange) aluminium were24 per cent lower than the samequarter last year at $1,977 pertonne. On a standalone basis,Hindalco's net sales came in atRs 5964.11 crore compared withRs 5979.03 crore in the sameperiod last year.
