Ferroalloys Summit 2011

Jun.22-24th Dalian, China

Media Organization

As world economy keeps recovering after financial crisis, the demand for steel products increases gradually. The output of Chinese crude steel hits 628 million tons in 2010, up by 10.7% compared with that of 2009. As the downstream industry of steel, ferroalloys have benefited from the output increase of steel. In the first half of 2010, ferroalloys industry moves steadily, with stable production and firm price. In the second half of 2010, Chinese government strengthens the policy of energy saving and emission reduction, and ferroalloys enterprises have to halt their production due to the lack of power, therefore ferroalloys prices begin soaring after a short-term downturn in July and August. However, the demand from downstream industries keeps sluggish, resulting in ferroalloys prices beginning moving down since October, and ferroalloys market generally kept slow by the end of 2010. Entering into 2011, there are many uncertain factors that affect ferroalloys industry:

Molybdenum: as a major producer of molybdenum, China plays an important role in the world. Will China change the policies on export and exploration next year and what impact will China bring to the whole molybdenum market? Will the supply of the material tighten in next 5 years?

Vanadium: What are new techniques to reduce production costs in vanadium industry? What's the solution for vanadium smelters in difficulties? What are opportunities and challenges for vanadium products during the updating of steel products?

Ferrotitanium: Chinese ferrotitanium market is still sluggish and the volume for tenders from steel mills is less than it was in the past few years. So how can the market become strong in 2011? International ferrotitanium price is still dominated by that of Russian materials, then, how can other countries develop ferrotitanium business under the heavy pressure this year?

Ferrotungsten: Domestic high-speed steel industry improved in the end of 2010, but the supply of ferrotungsten is superfluous to the demand. Raw material price keeps increasing and the weak export market results in the high export duty. Can Chinese ferrotungsten producers find a way to survive and how to deal with these problems in 2011?

Ferronickel: How will Chinese ferronickel output reach a new record in 2011? How can enterprises obtain cheap raw materials? How can ferronickel enterprises and stainless steel mills altogether create a Win-Win Situation?

Ferroniobium: Chinese ferroniobium market was slow for weak demand in the past year, while Brazilian suppliers lifted ferroniobium 66%min price at the beginning of 2011, what kind of impact will new pricing impose on the market? Will it help to push up the market or not?

Chromium alloys: China is a country of major consumption and resource scarcity in chrome ore, but the market is mainly controlled by foreign suppliers. How to strive for the right in chrome ore pricing? How to become bigger and stronger in Chinese special steel companies? Where is the way out for ferrochrome companies?

Manganese alloys: The output has been surplus for Chinese manganese alloys recently, and the operation is increasingly relying on the imported manganese ore. Moreover, the downstream steel industry has been restructuring in the coming few years according to the twelfth Five Year Plan, under these conditions, where the manganese alloys market will head for? And how to face the challenges at both home and abroad for manganese alloys producers?

Ferrosilicon: China is considered as the largest ferrosilicon producers in the world. However, under the influence of the power rationing policy in the second half of 2010, Chinese ferrosilicon domestic and export market experienced a big fluctuation. In 2011——the first year of the Twelfth Five-year Plan, what kind of adjustments will be made on the Energy-saving and Emission-reduction policy? What kind of difficulty Chinese ferrosilicon production may face with? Under the atmosphere of relatively sluggish steel industry, how the ferrosilicon industry makes adjustments to avoid the overcapacity?

Ferroboron: Chinese ferroboron industry, led by Liaodong area and supported by permanent magnet industry, is hunting for a better future on domestic sales and export in 2011. Will the boron output increase in 2011 in China? Will the prices of boric acid and ferroboron continue to go up greatly next year?

Ferrophosphorus: under the pressure of decreased output of yellow phosphorus as well as the fluctuation of exchange rate, Chinese ferrophosphorus export prices increased in 2010. Will the price continue to increase in 2011? And how producers and dealers think about the future market? Will the industrial structure be adjusted in the coming years?

Asian Metal is going to hold "Ferroalloys Summit 2011" on Jun 22-24, 2011 in Dalian. We will provide an effective platform for producers, traders and end users of ferroalloys to discuss the above problems and exchange ideas.

Leading International experts, scholars from relevant sectors and decision-making official of government will be invited to the summit to discuss the topics of “Economy development strategy in the coming five years in China; market progress for ferroalloys both at home and abroad; market trend for raw materials and downstream products. The conference will be one of the largest and most extensive in 2011.
