Scrap metal prices are down this week.   While demand for steel in the U.S. is OK, demand from China and Europe for scrap metal is down, so the price we sell for is coming down, meaning, we have no choice, but o pay less.  Steel had continued to stay high but that has changed.  Note though that due to the significantly lower prices of Copper and Aluminum in recent months, prices for items such as appliances, and mixed metals have come down as well. 
 
 
Also, see below, an article on how China has an oversupply of steel which hurts prices.  Too much supply, lower prices.

Junk Car Sell for cash, Junk Car Removal


China Gerui Advanced Materials Group Limited a leading high precision, cold rolled steel producer in China announced commented on the Chinese Government's recent accelerated initiatives to restructure its steel industry.

Mr Mingwang Lu chairman and CEO of China Gerui said that "The planned restructuring of the steel industry places China Gerui in a beneficial position by regaining a much needed supply demand equilibrium in the sector which would stabilize pricing over the long run."

He said that "We believe that as a high end niche cold rolled specialty steel producer, we will have the opportunity to enter new markets with improved raw material availability and cost structure which will ultimately result in improved gross margins over time."

China's 12th Five Year Plan is emphasizing merger and acquisition activity in the steel industry to create larger, more efficient steel companies with a greater emphasis on high end steel products. China's steel industry is the world's largest but its estimated oversupply of approximately 100 million tonnes to 200 million tonnes and fragmented structure has resulted in its inability to win pricing concessions from large international iron ore producers.

Following the third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee held in November 2013, China has accelerated its initiatives in restructuring the steel industry with the objective to reduce overall steel production capacity by 80 million tonnes before 2018. The government's determination has been evidenced by the recently announced capacity reduction in Hebei Province whose total output accounts for approximately twenty-five percent of the national output.

The Government's new policy is to merge smaller producers or to shut them down completely, which will also have the effect of strengthening the bargaining position of Chinese steel companies with the industry's large international iron ore raw material suppliers. It can be expected that as the steel supply demand ratio moves into equilibrium, steel prices will recover from historical lows and combined with lower negotiated material costs, higher profitability and margins should result for remaining Chinese steel producers.

Further, according to China's Ministry of Information and Information Technology, approximately 400 million tonnes of steel producing capacity in China out of a total production capacity of 970 million never received full approval from the national Development and Reform Commission or fulfilled other legal requirements such as permission to access loans among other necessary requirements. It is likely that while some of this illegal capacity will be allowed to become legal, other operations will be terminated.

The planned consolidation of the steel industry is focused on the upper stream of the value chain, which will beneficially impact raw material suppliers to companies like China Gerui. The resulting higher raw material costs should eliminate low efficiency, poorly capitalized cold-rolled steel producers which would provide an opportunity for China Gerui to capture additional market share. With its high technology, high end cold rolled steel products, the Company looks to be a beneficiary of the planned changes and is well positioned to penetrate new markets to generate substantial future growth.

Mr Mingwang Lu chairman and CEO of China Gerui said that "We are in the enviable position of being a premier high end specialty steel producer where our business objectives are completely aligned with the Government's restructuring plans. Once the Chinese steel industry begins to regain its supply-demand balance, our broad portfolio of high value, specialty steel niche products will enable us to focus on high growth steel markets, increase the utilization of our capacity and generate greater profitability. We are confident that a rational operating environment will allow us to more fully realize our revenue growth and earnings capabilities enabled by the successful execution of our strategic growth plan."

Junk Car Sell for cash, Junk Car Removal
  
Copper price rises slightly, downward pressure ahead
Global Times | 2014-1-19 22:33:01
By Yu Xi in Shanghai
The most-traded copper contract for delivery in April rose by 0.17 percent on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) Friday, finishing at 51,810 yuan ($8,569.9) per ton, up 1.03 percent week-on-week.

The slight gain was partly driven by a recent decline in copper storage, both domestically and internationally. According to a report by Zhengzhou, Henan Province-based Futures Daily last week, copper storage by London Metal Exchange-registered warehouses has declined from 663,100 tons in July 2013 to 340,700 tons currently.

Also, copper storage by SHFE-registered warehouses decreased from 182,400 tons in July to 122,000 tons currently, with rising storage costs being the main reason for the reduction, the report said.

But when copper storage stabilizes, there is unlikely to be a significant rebound, and downward pressure on copper prices will remain due to the sluggish demand currently, according to a report by China Securities Journal (CSJ) Thursday.

Global copper supply saw a surplus of 442,000 tons from January to October 2013, the CSJ report said, citing data from the World Bureau of Metal Statistics. Global copper production capacity is expected to increase significantly in the coming years, so a further rise in supply is expected in 2014 and 2015.

Meanwhile, the copper market has been affected by concerns over whether the US Federal Reserve will continue to reduce its stimulus program, given the moderate recovery seen recently in the US economy, according to a report by Reuters Thursday.

"The main theme is that we'll see a more hawkish stance from the Fed moving forward. In line with that we'll continue to see a strong dollar, which will place downward pressure on commodities prices, including metals," Reuters quoted analyst Tim Radford of Sydney-based adviser Rivkin as saying.

Plow equipped trucks ready for crushing and bailing at Ben Weitsman of Albany's scrap yard Thursday Jan. 9, 2014, at the Port of Albany in Albany, NY. (John Carl D'Annibale / Times Union)

Ron Hamilton watched as two massive materials sorters — machines with large mechanical arms tipped with magnets — dipped into a towering pile of metal debris at the Port of Albany to separate steel items from everything else. Hamilton manages the scrapyard at Ben Weitsman of Albany, a new operator in the Capital Region's metal recycling business. And business is booming since its August opening, he said. "We have had days where we have purchased a million pounds of scrap," he said. Prices for steel and other scrap metals have been generally strong, driven in part by increasing demand in the U.S. as the economy recovers. And that has a lot of people looking at scrap, from old cars to wire, plumbing, shell casings and almost anything made of metal, as a way to make some extra money. The port has a long history of handling scrap. One its oldest tenants, Capitol Scrap Metal, just down the road from the Weitsman operation, has been there since 1938. "We have been doing recycling long before it was popular. We have a lot of repeat customers," said Capitol owner Burt Segel, son of founder Raymond Segel. With a customer list topping 26,000 names over the last decade, the business handles non-ferrous metals — copper, aluminum, brass and lead — but not steel. When scrap prices rise, people can get fairly creative in what they want to sell. "We have even had people come in who want to scrap pennies," Segel said. But forget that as a way to make some quick money. "The answer is, it is not legal to scrap U.S. currencies," Segel said. At Weitsman, which opened its $15 million facility in August, some unusual objects can show up. Like a 1968 Lincoln Continental with 38,000 miles and "not a scratch on it," said Mark Steidle, who was running the car bailer that day. The bailer crushes cars into a compact metal rectangle. "It made me sick to my stomach to do it," said Steidle, who keeps a photo of the car — and the cube that it became — on his cellphone. He's also seen antique African bronze sculptures come through, along with an old tin still that was used to make liquor. As scrap, the doomed Lincoln brought about $500. Its resale value was from $7,000 in average shape to up to $20,000 in top condition, according to an online guide for the National Automotive Dealers Association. But it had to be done. "What comes into the yard as scrap has to go out as scrap. We don't sell cars or car parts out of the yard," said Hamilton. The Lincoln was scrapped as part of a legal requirement from an estate, he said. As many as 300 cars daily are crushed at the Albany yard, and then trucked to a massive, 10,000-horsepower shredder at the company's Owego headquarters, where vehicles are ground into small bits of metal, glass and plastic that are separated and shipped to various mills and refiners. Read Full Article                                             
Adam Weitsman, owner of the business, said he plans to install a 3,000-horsepower shredder, currently being fabricated at a plant near Buffalo, at his Albany business this spring so he can finish cars there. He also expects to start exporting scrap down the Hudson River and overseas, to Turkey, this spring for the first time. Up to now, all the scrap metal has been trucked from Albany to metal mills in the U.S. "We definitely underestimated the Albany market. Before we started, we were expecting 100, 125 customers a day. We are getting 350, 400 a day," said Weitsman. "Prices are great for scrap now in the U.S., and it is being driven by an upswing in U.S. manufacturing." A ton of scrap steel now pays between $312 and $386 at Weitsman, depending on its quality, he said. That's about $100 more than it was a year ago. A staff of 18 works at Weitsman, and Hamilton said that should increase to 40 over the course of this year. The company is also in the market to buy smaller scrap companies in the Capital Region to feed its port facility. Increasing scrap exports could help the port, said port General Manager Rich Hendrick. Currently, only Rensselaer Scrap and Auto Recycling, at the port on its Rensselaer County side, uses the river to ship its scrap, while both Capitol and Weitsman truck theirs out. "If Weitsman starts shipping, it could double our scrap volume," he said. And that means more dockage and wharfage fees for the port. The scrap market should further strengthen this year, said Joe Pickard, chief economist and director of commodities for the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, a Washington, D.C.-based trade group that represents about 1,600 scrap companies around the world. "We are seeing a rebalancing of the U.S. economy. Some parts, like construction and automobiles, are doing better, and there is a lot of pent-up demand. All these things could translate into better market conditions this year," Pickard said. And there is more competition for available scrap, he added, which could help push up prices. "The number of scrap metal shredders has doubled in the U.S. during the last three decades, and the capacity of those shredders is much larger." bnearing@timesunion.com518-454-5094@Bnearing10
