11. Steel Overview:
Meet the New Cycle, Same as the Old Cycle
• Output finally declining in China, several months too late
• Falling output tightens supply by late 2012/early 2013
• Tighter supply rallies prices late this year or early 2013
• Unfortunately, China (and probably USA) will react by
• Boosting prices too much (2013Q1)
• Restarting every ounce of idle capacity (2013H1)
• The increase in output causes prices to crash next summer
• Followed by production cuts once again in late 2013

12. Steel Fundamentals Lower Because of Iron Ore
• Miners were profitable when ore was $80-$90 per metric
tonne (mt)
• Prices moved above $150/mt in 2008 and stayed there
except for the recession
• Based on extraction cost, prices should be in $80-$100 range
• But we did not think it would happen
• Ore companies all bought the myth that Chinese steel
production would grow forever
• Now they have excess capacity and excess production
