4.5.1 Energy Steel Market Analysis In all segments of the energy sector, including nuclear, wind power, electric and natural gas, steel

is the pivotal ingredient for producing and transmitting the energy. Due to the demanding

environment, carbon, micro-alloyed, high strength and stainless steels are all used in the

production of offshore platforms and pipelines. Some of the end-uses of steel in energy sectors are

oil and gas wells and platforms, pipelines, electricity power turbine components, electricity pylons,

wind turbines, transmission towers, electromagnets, transformer cores and electromagnetic

shields. Different kinds of steel are used in the energy sector, including plates, pipes, tubes,

sheets, bars and sections. The energy sector accounted for 3.5% of the global steel consumption.

Visiongain predicts that steel consumption in the energy sector will increase from a value of $39

billion in 2013 to a value of $55 billion in 2024.

7. Expert Opinion ____ 7.1 Terence Soh, Senior Analyst, The Steel Index Ltd. Shanghai, China

Profile:

Terence Soh is a senior analyst from at The Steel Index (TSI), a leading provider of impartial price

information for key steel, scrap and iron ore products around the world, based on spot market

transactions. Visiongain interviewed Terence Soh and he offered to share his thoughts and gave

us a comprehensive and detailed insight into the global steel market. We would like to thank

Terence Soh for his contribution.

7.1.1 Why Consolidation and Price Risk Management are the Themes

for the Next Decade?

Visiongain: Why would you say are the key trends and developments in the steel market and

why?

Terence Soh: Consolidation and price risk management are the themes for the next decade. We

have witnessed an increase in global production levels unprecedented for generations, as

industrialising economies demand soared. Now, we have a large amount of installed capacity and

a more balanced supply/demand environment. As uneconomic steel mills are worked out of the

system, everyone else has to protect their margins. The steel market is evolving to use derivative

tools to hedge and protect their price risk exposure. The derivative tool (swaps/futures) started for

Iron Ore, but has developed rapidly into other products, like rebar, HRC, and etc. Singapore

exchange (SGX) started with Iron Ore swaps/futures and just recently in February starting the hot

rolled coil swaps/futures to satisfy the growing demand from steel participants to protect their

margins in finished steel products.

7.1.2 What Affects Iron Ore and Steel Prices? Visiongain: Do you anticipate any substantial price decline in iron ore and steel prices in the next

ten years?

Terence Soh: The steel over capacity issues will remain and could worse in future, as many of the

mills in China are still continuing expanding their production capacity. This will have an impact on

the raw material and steel prices, unless demand increases to match output levels, or uneconomic
