Nearly half of steel mills in the red in March
(Agencies)
Updated: 2009-04-23 11:58 Nearly half of major Chinese steel mills were mired in the red in March, official newspapers quoted a senior industry executive as saying on Thursday, as oversupply in the country weighed on product prices.
Large- and medium-sized steel mills in China saw a combined net loss of 1.91 billion yuan ($279.7 million), while 33 mills suffered losses, Wu told an industry meeting on Wednesday. Oversupply of hot-rolled steel coil, once considered a standard product of modern steel mills in China, was a key drag on the profits of 5 to 10 million-ton capacity steel mills, another association official told the China Securities Journal. Chinese steel mills, led by national leader Baosteel, are locked in annual iron ore price negotiations with miners including BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Vale. Chinese firms have cited the slump in domestic steel prices as justification for cheaper ore from suppliers for this fiscal year, but their high output has been cited as strong evidence of good appetite in the world's top steel making country.
