POSCO Has Sought Import Assistance From Mexico

Image
It is understood that POSCO, South Korea's largest steelmaker, has sought import assistance from Mexico after failing to persuade the United States to lift its steel quota restrictions. According to the Korean steel giant, the company has asked the Mexican government to continue raising its import quota for cold-rolled steel sheets for automobiles over the next five years. Specifically, POSCO requires import quotas to increase from 547,500 tons this year to 585,000 tons next year, 606,000 tons in 2021, 633,000 tons in 2022 and 677,000 tons in 2023. In addition, Hyundai Steel, a Korean steelmaker, has made similar requests. The Mexican government is expected to respond within this year. The move follows Washington's announcement to lift a year-long steel and aluminum tariff on Mexico and Canada while maintaining quota restrictions on South Korean steel. To avoid imposing a 25% steel tariff from the United States, South Korea must keep its shipments below 70% of its annu...

Steel Export Tax Rebate May be cut to 9% or Cancelled

Image
  According to relevant reports, the Asian steel market has been talking about the possibility of China cutting the steel export tax rebate from the current 13% to 9%, or abolishing it altogether. Since the end of January, the industry has revealed more and more details. A dealer said that this may be in line with the direction of the central government's policy of reducing steel production capacity. Reducing the export tax rebate will force steel mills to rely more on the domestic market rather than increase production to meet the overseas market. Analysts believe that whether it is down or canceled, the impact is not small, all steel prices are bound to rise. This means that the domestic steel mills will no longer be the main players in the overseas market, and the export market will empty the supply gap, which will boost the spot price. This is indeed good news for global steel mills, because China's steel products are no longer the cheapest, which greatly reduces the pres...
