Reduce costs by keeping tab on ferroalloy prices

Ferroalloys are a vital ingredient in the steel manufacturing being used as a means of introducing these alloying elements into the cast or as de-oxidizers.

As a corollary, ferroalloys market cannot remain unscathed with the happenings in the steel industry. The contemporary fickleness in the international steel market reeling under global recession has a marked impact on the prices of materials associated with it.

Some of the major Ferro Alloy producing countries viz., Chile, China, Peru, Mexico, Canada have been witnessing uncertain price movements. Although India being a minor player owing to a miniscule reserves and production has a major stake as a buyer with ever increasing steel capacities, massive infrastructure development entailing quantum jump in steel demand.

We at www.steelprices-india.com realized that any exercise in keeping a close tab on the steel industry would be grossly incomplete without including ferroalloys in its ambit as it is vital cost component. This will assist steel makers in evaluating their cost competitiveness regardless of the market condition to give the cutting edge.
