[SMM Steel] European HRC Prices Diverge as Weak Demand Limits Further Gains

[European Union] European HRC prices showed mixed movements in the October 15 market update. On October 14, the Northwest European HRC index fell by approximately USD 4/tonne to USD 828/tonne ex-works, while Italy's index increased by around USD 2/tonne to USD 830/tonne ex-works. Despite mills having largely filled their fourth-quarter order books, weak downstream demand continued to limit buyers' willingness to accept further increases. Northwest European mills' target of approximately USD 874/tonne delivered remained difficult to achieve, while import offers at Antwerp of USD 874–896/tonne DDP were rejected as too expensive.

[ArcelorMittal Mexico Targets 5.3 Million Tonnes of Annual Output by 2029 as Mining Upgrades Advance]

ArcelorMittal Mexico is targeting annual steel production of 5.3 million tonnes by 2029, compared with current output of approximately 3.6–3.7 million tonnes, according to CEO Víctor Cairo. The company is focusing on operational improvements, including modernisation of continuous casting facilities and the removal of production bottlenecks, to support crude steelmaking capacity of 3.8 million tonnes annually and hot-rolled coil production of 2.5 million tonnes. ArcelorMittal is also advancing a 180 million USD (approximately 17.1 billion INR) iron ore concentrator project at Las Truchas, scheduled to begin operations around mid-2027, supporting plans to increase long steel production to 1.5 million tonnes annually. The 5.3-million-tonne objective was originally outlined in 2017, making the latest development an updated production timeline and operational improvement programme rather than an entirely new capacity announcement.
