Mr. Eugen Dubogryz, an analyst from BG Capital, said “Despite the upcoming slowdown in the global steel markets in October, we believe Ukraine’s steel sector is well positioned to raise its daily output by roughly 3% month on month to 94-95,000 tons. Alchevsk, whose capacities are only loaded at around 60%, should be one of the main factors leading the growth. We see few risks to individual mills production plans and we reaffirm our latest projection for 2010 output at 32.7 million tons of crude steel, up by 10% YoY.” (SteelOrbis)Much more about metal of Ukraine, Russia and other CIS-countries at https://metalukraine.com/
