19th CRU World Steel Conference
Hong Kong, 4-6 March 2013
"Steel prices have de-coupled from costs, and profitability in the Chinese steel sector has risen considerably; but is this a short-term spike or have market fundamentals shifted? Europe remains in the abyss and the US position, whilst more positive, is precarious. Steel prices outside of China are firmly tied to costs and profitability is poor. Will China lead the way and what are the prospects across the globe for production, prices and profitability in 2013 and beyond?" Paul Butterworth, Research Manager, Steel Raw Materials & Steel Costs, CRU, January 2013.
'Surviving and thriving in a difficult market' will be theme of the discussions at the 19th CRU World Steel Conference, conveniently taking place in Hong Kong from 4-6 March 2013, with senior executive speakers from Baosteel Group, Essar Steel, Miller Mathis Group, NatSteel Holdings, and many more companies discussing the challenges and opportunities for the steel industry in 2013.
