BHP Take on Real Estate Sector Issues in China

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
17 Aug, 2022, 6:24 am

Global mining giant BHP while announcing results for FY 2022 has provided in-depth view on real estate sector China, which to a great extant decided the health of Chinese steel sector. BHP’s Market Analysis & Economics Vice President Dr Huw McKay wrote “China’s housing market has often been at the centre of counter–cyclical policy shifts. It is also the biggest wild card in the remainder of calendar 2022 and into calendar 2023. Our current diagnosis is that what ails Chinese housing is not a demand problem, it is a supply–side problem. More specifically, the resolution of the current issue lies within the nexus of developer balance sheets, macro–prudential controls on the same and risk–averse financiers, who have lost confidence over the last twelve months or so in the face of high–profile defaults.”

Dr McKay wrote “It is instructive to compare the present situation to the extended real estate downturn of the mid–2010s. The earlier cycle was characterised by an excessive inventory of unsold properties, with substantial over–building in lower tier cities intersecting with tightening purchase controls on out–of–town investors against a backdrop of policy uncertainty under the anti–corruption drive, property tax pilots and the national housing ownership registry. Such was the depth of the issue that “housing de–stocking” that it became a macroeconomic priority in parallel with the execution of President Xi’s signature Supply Side Reform initiative.”

Dr McKay also wrote “The excess inventory problem at the national level was also the collective expression of hundreds of demand–supply mismatches across China’s various city tiers. The resolution required a transfer of real assets from the balance sheet of developers to the balance sheet of households, and that in turn required an increase in purchasing power and regulatory forbearance on the out–of–town investor question. The transfer was ultimately unlocked through a considerable expansion of mortgage loans and a more lenient approach to investors.”

Dr McKay wrote “The upswing began tentatively, with the average historical lag relationship between the leading indicators and building activity comfortably exceeded, but ultimately an enduring upswing in sales and starts was put in place. It had a lower peak but a longer tail than prior cycles. The shadow of this cycle is still visible in the pipeline of work under construction today, which is part of the problem. Developers have been incentivised to start multiple projects but not to complete them in timely fashion. This oddity stems from the fact that buyers need to compete for access to developments by paying very large down–payments, 100% up front, a practice that has evolved due to the extraordinarily high demand for property assets in China which has historically put developers in a very advantageous bargaining position. If they choose to, developers have been able to dawdle their way through projects after the initial phase without repercussion prioritising the majority of their capital instead for the acquisition of land and the initiation of new projects.”

Dr McKay wrote “The authorities have progressively recognized that this issue was creating unhealthy imbalances in the real estate market. For some years, the response was to tread relatively softly, reflecting the sector’s central role in employment, the credit–collateral system, and the storing of wealth. National level housing policies have been directed towards limiting speculation, modest direct interventions via public housing and shanty town reconstruction and the building up of rental markets. These measures did not tackle the root causes of the starts/completion imbalance, one of which was of course the incentive matrix faced by developers. The enormous wedge between the volume of starts and completions that opened across 2016–2019 made this abundantly clear. The response was to place developers into a traditional SSR template, with specific macro–prudential guardrails now known as the “three red lines” introduced in August 202016. These regulations, finally, increased the incentive for leveraged developers to complete projects in timely fashion, as running down their liabilities to off–the–plan buyers counts towards the –10 percentage point reduction in the liability–to–assets ratios required of the sector. This has seen completions out–perform starts. But with most of the sector coming under financing pressure since Evergrande’s problems came to light roughly a year ago, even working capital has become an issue for some developers. That has led to a very slow supply response to the easier policy measures enacted to boost the demand side of the housing market; a distinct lack of progress on many semi–finished projects; and disgruntled purchasers in multiple locations threatening mortgage servicing strikes. This latter factor may have been the final straw that forced the authorities’ hand to intervene directly on the supply–side. Not long after this story created a local media stir, it was made known that a state–backed vehicle would be created to backstop financially distressed developers and get liquidity flowing to the sector again. The Politburo meeting of late July released some high–level details, alongside a resolute statement to “stabilise the real estate market” and “ensure housing delivery”. ”

Dr McKay wrote “This episode shows yet again that at this stage of China’s development, real estate is so significant in terms of its impact on employment, local government finances and consumer confidence, not to mention the backward linkages into heavy industry, that anything more than a shallow dip is difficult to absorb whilst also retaining desired levels of macro stability.”

Major housing data as of June 2022

The volume of housing starts, the key indicator for contemporaneous steel use in real estate, has declined by 34.4%.

Sales volumes declined 22.2% weighed down by pre–sales at 27% as existing home sales rose 16%

Floor space under–construction was tracking at minus2.8%

Land area sold was minus 48.3% YoY

Developer financing was minus 25.3%.

Dr McKay wrote “A final observation on housing: the scaled inventory of unsold dwellings is close to historical lows as we move into this next cycle phase. A sustained period of weak starts has diminished the pipeline of work, and the needed focus on completions has been delayed. That implies that despite the challenges on the supply side of the industry, risks for housing prices are not skewed downwards. In fact, the reverse may well be true.”

British Steel verhoogt prijzen vanwege energiecrisis
ANP Producties - Gisteren om 20:54
© ANP

LONDEN (ANP/BLOOMBERG) - British Steel, een van de belangrijkste staalproducenten in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, verhoogt de prijzen voor sommige staalproducten vanwege de stijgende energiekosten. De marges van producenten in Europa staan al langer onder druk sinds energie nog duurder is geworden als gevolg van de oorlog in Oekraïne.

Staal dat gebruikt wordt voor de bouw wordt straks naar verluidt zo'n tien procent duurder. Afnemers moeten dan 100 pond meer betalen per ton staal, omgerekend bijna 120 euro meer, zei een woordvoerder van de onderneming. In maart verhoogde British Steel de prijzen van dit type staal al met 250 pond per ton. Dat was toen ongeveer een stijging van een kwart ten opzichte van de vorige staalprijs, meldden Britse media.

De Europese industrie gaat momenteel gebukt onder fors hogere energiekosten. Dinsdag stegen de Europese gasprijzen naar het hoogste niveau in zes maanden tijd. Daarmee nam de vrees voor een recessie verder toe. Diverse Europese landen houden rekening met een tekort aan energie deze winter, omdat Rusland de gasleveringen sterk heeft teruggeschroefd. De belangrijke gaspijpleiding Nord Stream 1 functioneert momenteel maar op 20 procent van de capaciteit.

Sommige producenten verlagen in reactie hierop al de productie of nemen meer drastische maatregelen, zoals de van oorsprong Belgische metalenproducent Nyrstar die zijn zinksmelterij in Budel sluit vanwege de hoge energiekosten. De installatie is een van de grootste van zijn soort in Europa. Andere bedrijven proberen de kosten door te berekenen aan klanten, zoals British Steel dus doet.

BHP expects volatile near-term operating environment
153 Views

BHP expects its operating environment to remain volatile in the near term, Kallanish notes. Industry wide inflationary pressures continue to lift and steepen operating cost curves and extend timelines for project delivery, it says.

Many commodity-linked uncontrollable costs, such as diesel, increased to record highs in the financial year through June 2022 (FY22), and energy costs remain vulnerable to global geopolitical developments, the miner observes.

The lag effect of inflation, as well as labour market tightness is expected to impact the group's cost base throughout FY23.

Meanwhile, it says exchange rates have adjusted rapidly against the evolving macroeconomic backdrop, with the pronounced US dollar strength providing a partial offset for local currency cost inflation in its major operating jurisdictions.

"The net result of these many challenges is that the marginal cost of production is now estimated to be markedly higher than it was prior to the Covid-19 pandemic,” BHP observes. “This implies that price support is also expected to be higher than in previous cycles and low-cost operators stand to capture higher relative margins in certain commodities.”

Meanwhile, the global steel market opened the second half of FY22 strongly, both in China and the rest of the world (ROW), but momentum began to fade as the period came to a close.

While a steady improvement in end-use demand from China is anticipated, it says the slower-than-expected rebound in construction post Covid-19 lockdowns has dampened sentiment across the steel value chain.

In the ROW, it says strong profitability for steelmakers in the March quarter had declined by the end of the June quarter, as end-use demand softened amid high input costs.

ROW steel markets are expected to remain under pressure in FY23 as the macroeconomic climate softens.

For iron ore, the firm expects China's medium-term demand to be lower than it is today as crude steel production plateaus, and the scrap-to-steel ratio rises.

In the long term, it expects prices to be determined by high-cost production, on a value-in-use adjusted basis, from Australia or Brazil.

It meanwhile expects demand for seaborne hard coking coals to expand alongside the growth of the steel industry in hard coking coal importing countries such as India.

Long term, it believes higher-quality metallurgical coals will still be used in blast furnace steelmaking for decades based on its bottom-up analysis of likely regional steel decarbonisation pathways.

As for nickel, it believes the commodity will be a core beneficiary of the longer-term electrification mega-trend and that nickel sulphides will be particularly attractive.

Graphene Dramatically Reduces Wear & Friction on Steel Surfaces

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
18 Aug, 2022, 6:27 am

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have recently discovered that they could substitute one atom-thick graphene layers for either solid or oil-based lubricants on sliding steel surfaces, enabling a dramatic reduction in the amount of wear and friction. New studies led by Argonne materials scientists Dr Anirudha Sumant and Dr Ali Erdemir show that single sheets of graphite, called graphene, work equally well in humid and dry environments. Furthermore, the graphene is able to drastically reduce the wear rate and the coefficient of friction of steel. The marked reductions in friction and wear are attributed to the low shear and highly protective nature of graphene, which also prevents oxidation, tribo corrosion, of the steel surfaces when present at sliding contact interfaces.

Current lubricants, such as molybdenum disulfide or boric acid, have disadvantages such as environmentally unfriendly additives, or are environmentally unfriendly themselves. The oil-based lubricants need to be consistently reapplied, producing additional waste. The cost of applying solid lubricant coatings is rather high and, due to finite thickness, they do not last very long and must be reapplied thus increasing cost.

On the other hand, a graphene coating can be applied to the surface simply by dipping the surface into a solution containing a very small amount of graphene. The graphene was found to adhere strongly to the surface during the testing. It is interesting to see that even partial coatings are very effective at reducing friction because of the ability of the graphene to reorient itself during initial wear cycles, and can last a considerable length of time providing a low friction during sliding. Additionally, they do not produce any waste.

Dr Sumant and Dr Erdemir estimated that the reduced loss of energy to friction offered by new materials would yield a potential energy savings of 2.46 billion kilowatt-hours per year, equivalent to 1.5 million barrels of oil.

Dr Sumant said “It is interesting to see how a one-atom-thick material affects the properties at a larger scale. I believe that graphene has potential as a solid lubricant in the automotive industry and, once fully developed, it could have positive impacts on many mechanical applications that could lead to a tremendous savings of energy.”

Dr Sumant is associated with Argonne’s CNM, while Dr Erdemir works for Argonne’s Energy Systems Division. Funding came from Argonne’s Laboratory-Directed Research and Development office. The team recently published their findings in two consecutive papers in the high-impact journal Carbon.

TMK Improves Efficiency of PNTZ EAF

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
18 Aug, 2022, 6:38 am

Russian steel pipe maker Metallurgical Company TMK’s Pervouralsk Novotrubny Plant has introduced new technologies in the steelmaking process as part of its efforts to improve operational efficiency. Thanks to the modernization of the design of the electric arc furnace and the use of a new type of raw material, the enterprise received a significant economic effect.

The result was achieved through the introduction of a new design solution in the EAF of the electric steel-smelting shop Iron Ozone 32. An additional burner was installed in the shutter of the slag window of the furnace, which is designed to heat and melt the scrap metal remaining during melting in the cold zone of the furnace. If earlier it was removed from the threshold of the slag window of the furnace with the help of a loader, now the raw material is returned to the chipboard bath without human intervention. Such modernization made it possible, in particular, to speed up the process of steel production while maintaining high quality characteristics.

Earlier, as part of measures to improve the efficiency of steelmaking, PNTZ introduced digital technologies to control steel production. A thermal imager with software was installed in the electric shop, which captures the image of the metal flow during discharge into the steel-pouring ladle and transmits data on the percentage of metal and furnace slag after the steel is tapped to the monitor of the foreman of the smelting section. Automation of the process made it possible to minimize manual labor and reduce the amount of slag entering the steel ladle at the end of the tapping of the melt from the EAF. As a result, the quality of the continuously cast billet has improved, the consumption of ferroalloys has been reduced, and the level of employee safety has increased.

Leading provider of seamless pipe solutions Tenaris has surpassed 1,000 fractures in Vaca Muerta, record activity for the company, in the world's second largest reservoir for shale gas and one of the world’s quickest growing shale play, ear after the start of its hydraulic fracturing operations in Argentina. Hydraulic fracturing operations are initially concentrated in Fortín de Piedra, an oilfield operated by Tecpetrol, the main shale gas producer in Argentina and Tenaris’s sister company. This is a key project for Tenaris that not only allows to expanding our service offer to clients in the region but also contributes to the development of a key resource for Argentina. Throughout these 1,000 fractures we have learned from many challenges, reaching best productivity in the last operations, with an average activity of six fractures and with peaks of nine fractures per day.

Tenaris plans to continue consolidating its scope of services in Vaca Muerta. The company will strengthen current operations by adding new high-performance hydraulic fracturing and coiled tubing equipment. Higher power pumping units and peripheral equipment will also be incorporated, especially designed for the demands of the country’s shale formations.

Additionally, to contain the growing level of operation, Tenaris is going to build a new service base of 15 hectares in a location close to the main oilfield. The investment will include maintenance facilities, warehouses, equipment testing areas and a quality laboratory and offices.

In March 2021, Tenaris announced the acquisition of hydraulic fracturing, coiled tubing and wire-line equipment from Baker Hughes. Three months later the company completed its first fracture. The project has proved to be successful thanks to record set up of the equipment, the hiring of more than 100 people and the consolidation of a national value chain.

The US International Trade Commission in their five-year sunset reviews that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on corrosion-resistant steel products from India, Italy, China, Korea and Taiwan and countervailing duty orders on CORE from India, Italy, China and Korea would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and net countervailable subsidies, and material injury to an industry in the United States. As a result, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these AD and CVD orders.

Weighted average dumping margin

India - 4.43%

Italy - 92.12%

China - 209.97%

Korea - 8.75%

Taiwan -10.34%

Cold rolled steel products from Brazil were also under review, but the US IRC determined that revoking countervailing measures and antidumping duties would not lead to the continuation of material damage in the US.

The Commission instituted reviews 1 June, 2021, determined on 7 September that it would conduct full reviews, and on 24 May conducted its hearing.

The products covered by these Orders are certain flat-rolled steel products, either clad, plated or coated with corrosion-resistant metals such as zinc, aluminum, or zinc-, aluminum-, nickel or iron-based alloys, whether or not corrugated or painted, varnished, laminated, or coated with plastics or other non-metallic substances in addition to the metallic coating. The products covered include coils that have a width of 12.7 mm or greater, regardless of form of coil. The products covered also include products not in coils of a thickness less than 4.75 mm and a width that is 12.7 mm or greater.

The United Steelworkers Local 8782 union of Hamilton Ontario based Canadian steel maker Stelco Holdings announced that Negotiating Committee has reached a tentative agreement. USW Local 8782 said “Meetings have been scheduled for 18 August 1at the Port Dover Community Centre & vote to take place on 19 August at the union hall.”

The United Steelworkers Local 8782's prior contract expired on 30 June & the union's membership had rejected the new contract on 28 July with 52% voting against.

Two other smaller USW unions at the mill have either approved their new contracts or are working to bring them for a vote to membership.

The Steel Company of Canada, Stelco’s original title, was given life in 1910 via the merger of Montreal Rolling Mills, the Hamilton Steel and Iron Company, and a handful of secondary companies located from Gananoque to Brantford. It was the result of a bold partnership that forecast emerging challenges and charted a path toward nation-building opportunity. To accomplish the deal, legendary Canadian banker, industrialist and eventual senator William McMaster joined forces with Max Aitken, a brash 30-year-old New Brunswick financier. In 2007, Stelco was acquired by US Steel and renamed US Steel Canada. Today, Stelco is independent again.

18 Aug, 2022, 6:50 am

Australian steel maker BlueScope announced that as the Port Kembla Steelworks approaches its 100-year anniversary in 2028, BlueScope is looking towards its low-carbon modern manufacturing future. BlueScope said “We are continuing to invest in robotics, automation and other digital technologies to deliver the next wave of customer, growth and productivity improvements. These digital technologies will also support a range of carbon intensity reduction initiatives, such as the now operational blast furnace digital twin model.”

BlueScope said “We are working hard to optimize our existing operating assets and are exploring a range of opportunities to reduce their energy use and greenhouse gas emissions intensity. This includes further increasing our use of scrap, the more efficient use of indigenous gases, the potential for injecting hydrogen-rich coke ovens gas into the blast furnace, trials of biomass injection into the blast furnace and a range of off-gas heat and energy reuse opportunities. We are also pursuing breakthrough Decarbonisation technology with continued progression of the assessment of a pilot hydrogen-based direct reduced iron melter and a hydrogen electrolyser. During FY2022, we established BlueScopeX, our fund for direct investment in start-ups and innovations in Decarbonisation and energy efficient buildings.”

BlueScope also said “The feasibility study of the comprehensive reline and upgrade of the mothballed No.6 Blast Furnace is progressing well. This project includes a range of improved environmental controls, along with technology options that will enable incremental greenhouse gas intensity reductions. Importantly, our planning for the reline builds a bridge to future adoption of breakthrough lower emissions steelmaking, once it is technically and commercially viable.”

As part of planning for the next 100 years in the Illawarra, BlueScope has commenced the development of a Master Plan for approximately 200 hectares of excess landholdings adjacent to the Port Kembla Steelworks. This 18-month program will be led by world-leading architects and urban designers, Bjarke Ingels Group and will create a vision for the reimagination and transformation of land surplus to steelmaking needs, with the potential to unlock a wide range of new uses and enable significant long-term economic and social value for the region.

BlueScope has a long and proud history as an efficient, trusted and innovative steelmaker in the Illawarra. It evolved from the coming together of three companies that pioneered the Australian steel industry in the early 20th Century Broken Hill Proprietary, John Lysaght (Australia) and Australian Iron & Steel Limited. BlueScope Steel became a stand-alone steel company in July 2002 after BHP had announced in 2001 that it was merging with Anglo-African mining house Billiton to form BHPBilliton, and that the company’s steel division would be spun out as separate Australian listed companies. The Port Kembla Steelworks has 2.6 million tonnes of steel per year.

India’s leading steel maker Steel Authority of India Limited will produce small volumes of head hardened steel rails, which needs special heat processing to withstand 50% more pressure compared to normal rails, on trial basis aiming to deliver supplies to high-speed freight rail corridors under construction across the country. SAIL Director Finance Mr Anil Tulsiani told analyst in investor call “The head hardened rail is still under trial and we will be of course producing some quantity in this year but once the trials are successful then we will be able to finalize how much quantities we can produce for the head hardened rail.”

Mr Tulsiani, while answering a query regarding price revision of rails for Indian Railways said that “We have booked INR 489 crores in April-June 2022 quarter after raising invoices for this so the money will start coming for this and this is actually just a provisional figure which they have given us. Since we have already submitted the pricing for 2020-2021 to the chief advisor cost the organization which finalizes the price for us so we expect something like around about INR 5000-6000 extra for 2020-2021 and this price whatever they have given it is basically for 2021-2022, a provision of INR 5000 increase. This will also further go up once we submit our pricings to the CA cost so this is an ongoing affair till probably all these costs are finalized up to 2021-2022.”

Mr Tulsiani also said that rail realization in the last year was at around INR 62,000 and Indian Railways given us an increase of INR 5000 in this year.
