Italy - Eredi Gnutti Metalli sees recovery in brass rod but not in rolled products - 1 views

  •  
    Italian fabricator, Eredi Gnutti Metalli, said in an interview with Reuters that it foresees a slight recovery in brass rod output and further decline in rolled products for the construction sector, which has remained weak. The company plans to produce 110,000 tonnes of brass rod in the current fiscal year (2010/11), compared to 100,000 tonnes a year ago. So far its orders have been driven by restocking activity and it expects industrial demand to return to pre-crisis levels in 3 to 4 years without major shocks in the economy. The company's copper cathode purchase has been cut by 25% from pre-crisis level to around 12,000 tonnes to 14,000 tonnes a year.

US - Southwire: US residential construction industry has bottomed-out, signs of weak re... - 0 views

  •  
    Southwire Co. Inc., a US cablemaker with a focus on building wire production, said that the US residential construction industry has bottomed-out after near-continuous contraction since being heavily impacted by the global economic crisis in late-2008. The company said that it is now necessary to use statistics on housing area under construction in order to analyse and pre-empt demand as government figures on housing starts cause an overestimation of the strength of the recovery in wire and cable demand. This is due to homebuilders more frequently electing to construct smaller homes, requiring less wire and cable than average-sized homes.

Europe - Luvata sees recovery signs - 1 views

  •  
    Luvata said that it will restart idled capacity in Europe and the US in 2010. The decision is based on the slow but steady recovery that the company is experiencing on a monthly basis. It was reported that the Chinese plants that make air con tubes and cooling pipes resumed production in the second half of June after a month-long cut. Luvata expects that its growth will be a function of GDP and gains in its market share.

Aluminium, nickel to have slower recovery than other industrial metals - 0 views

  •  
    Aluminium and nickel are expected to struggle under the weight of high inventories, and even when a recovery finally kicks in, perhaps later this year, prices will be slower to pick up than other industrial metals. Faced with the bleak prospects of a sharp global economic downturn, producers and downstream users of these two metals may be keener than most to consolidate to try to ride out the storm.

HVAC: Energy Recovery Ventilation Systems - 0 views

  • An energy recovery ventilator (ERV) is a type of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment that uses the energy associated with the thermally conditioned air being exhausted from a building to precondition the incoming air.  ERVs, which offer many advantages for both improved indoor air quality (IAQ) and reduced energy consumption, are one of the fastest-growing segments of improved IAQ management in buildings.

Indian companies face year of slow recovery - 0 views

  • But signs of a broader recovery are harder to spot in sectors such as automotive, where carmakers are cutting back output in the face of dismal sales figures, the latest of which this week saw the market contract by about a quarter during February compared with the year before. Such reductions are, in turn, having a knock-on effect in sectors including steel, with large producers such as Tata Steel and Steel Authority of India, the nation’s two largest by sales, unveiling unexpectedly disappointing results during the past quarter. Tuesday’s data also showed further declines for companies in the country’s battered extractive industries, where recent production bans in big mining states have forced operations at companies such as the iron ore arm of London-listed Vedanta Resources to all but stop completely, pending legal reviews.

A new era for commodities - McKinsey Quarterly - Energy, Resources, Materials - Environ... - 1 views

  • A new era for commodities
  •  
    A new era for commodities Cheap resources underpinned economic growth for much of the 20th century. The 21st will be different. NOVEMBER 2011 * Richard Dobbs, Jeremy Oppenheim, and Fraser Thompson Source: McKinsey Global Institute, Sustainability & Resource Productivity Practice In This Article Exhibit: In little more than a decade, soaring commodity prices have erased a century of steady declines. About the authors Comments (2) Has the global economy entered an era of persistently high, volatile commodity prices? Our research shows that during the past eight years alone, they have undone the decline of the previous century, rising to levels not seen since the early 1900s (exhibit). In addition, volatility is now greater than at any time since the oil-shocked 1970s because commodity prices increasingly move in lockstep. Our analysis suggests that they will remain high and volatile for at least the next 20 years if current trends hold-barring a major macroeconomic shock-as global resource markets oscillate in response to surging global demand and inelastic supplies. Back to top Demand for energy, food, metals, and water should rise inexorably as three billion new middle-class consumers emerge in the next two decades.1 The global car fleet, for example, is expected almost to double, to 1.7 billion, by 2030. In India, we expect calorie intake per person to rise by 20 percent during that period, while per capita meat consumption in China could increase by 60 percent, to 80 kilograms (176 pounds) a year. Demand for urban infrastructure also will soar. China, for example, could annually add floor space totaling 2.5 times the entire residential and commercial square footage of the city of Chicago, while India could add floor space equal to another Chicago every year. Such dramatic growth in demand for commodities actually isn't unusual. Similar factors were at play throughout the 20th century as the planet's population tripled and demand for various resource

The Global Economy in 2014, by Christine Lagarde, Managing Director, International Mone... - 0 views

  • In just a few days, we will be releasing our updated forecasts. While our numbers are still being finalized, I will talk about the main trends as we see them.
  •  
    * Momentum strengthened in the latter half of 2013, and should strengthen further in 2014-largely due to improvements in the advanced economies. * Yet, global growth is still stuck in low gear. It remains below its potential, which we think is somewhere around 4 percent. * Even for the advanced economies, however, the outlook is still subject to significant risks. With inflation running below many central banks' targets, we see rising risks of deflation, which could prove disastrous for the recovery. * During the years of crisis, we have relied on the emerging markets to keep the global economy afloat. Together with the developing countries, they accounted for three-quarters of global growth over the past half decade. However, a growing number of emerging markets are slowing down as the economic cycle turns.

Executive Analysis of Developments in the Russian Automotive Industry - 1 views

  •  
    "Light vehicle sales in Russia are expected to grow from 2015 to 2021 as the economic recovery is set to push organic growth. Global original equipment manufacturers (OEM) based in Russia are estimated to increase manufacturing localization from the current 45% level in response to the devaluation of the Russian ruble. The dynamics of local production of B-subcompact vehicles are set to continue driving demand within the segment. Over 5 interviews were conducted face-to-face and over the phone by senior consultants/industry analysts with vehicle manufacturers, OEMs, regulation authorities, and distributors in Russia."

Demand for copper goods picking up slowly - Luvata - 0 views

  • LONDON, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Demand for copper goods has picked up over the past month, but consumers are learning to live with low stocks as a slow economic recovery is on the cards, copper fabricator Luvata told Reuters on Thursday. The worst economic recession since the 1930s has seen copper product consumers slash their inventories as demand collapsed. The de-stocking cycle now seems to have ended. "We see the worst is now behind us and our economic analysis shows a slow but hopefully sustainable recovery," said Bob Kickham, Luvata's senior vice president of procurement.
