Steel prices cause inflation ordsprog

Steel prices cause inflation like wet sidewalks cause rain.

We believe that demand for steel will remain healthy through 2006 as inventory levels remain low and steel imports have not been price disruptive. Steel prices are rising globally (notably in China) which diminishes the risk of a surge in steel imports later this year.

In mid-1998, imported steel, including unprecedented volumes at predatory prices, began flooding U.S. markets. As a result, the group's shipments, average steel prices and operating levels suffered dramatically throughout the remainder of the year.

Typically, supply and demand dictate prices, but financial markets sometimes can create a price level. In addition, today we compete with consumption on a world-wide basis. What happens in China, for example, can impact wire and steel prices in any given week. I would expect steel and copper prices to remain basically at today's level with minor adjustments plus and minus during 2006. Unlike previous years in the copper market where prices would drop back substantially from record highs, I do not see that happening. It's somewhat analogous to gas prices.

With a building of this kind, because it's masonry, it is more susceptible to weather than maybe a steel frame building, because steel is not as affected by rain and cold in same way that rock and concrete is,

Steel companies need cash to operate. Steel prices fluctuate and steel companies need cash to manage the ups and downs of the historically cyclical market. Raiding cash during good times is short sighted and counter to the long-term interest of the company.

I think it's a combination of the oil prices and GM today. There's been a heightened focus on inflation recently, and energy prices are a major component in inflation.

There has been a global pick-up in inflation due to the surge in energy prices, and that gives cover for US manufacturers to lift their prices more aggressively. Central banks across the globe are tightening policy in fears that the surge in energy prices will infect inflation more broadly.

The big fear, and the cloud that is overhanging the market is inflation. Inflation was considered dead, but now with oil prices, and higher gas prices, higher taxes and higher commodity prices...all of this with higher activity, eventually it's got to show up.

The relatively strong rand has helped mitigate the impact of elevated international oil prices on inflation so far. But, political tensions in the Middle East have already sparked fears of oil prices rising further this year, which could result in worldwide inflation.

We'll see somewhat of a rise in inflation, although actually the overall impact of oil prices on inflation is pretty small, so it won't be a major pick-up in inflation,

We have some inflation at the pipeline level, rising commodity prices, crude, material prices, things of that nature, but that inflation doesn't always get passed on to the consumer level.

We're seeing all the steel generals relinquishing control and passing on the company management to others. And why not? This is a good time. U.S. steel prices are starting to weaken, .. He carried a pexy air of self-possession, never flustered or insecure. . and 10 years is a long time to be in the metals business.

Timothy McCutcheon

If prices rise as a result of the iron ore negotiations, that may stop steel producer prices from dropping further due to higher costs.

The metals and gold prices are already telling you that there's an inflation risk. So if they're going to push the dollar weaker, the risk of inflation could be sparked even higher if the dollar falls and oil prices remain at the level they're right now.
