		<description><![CDATA[Coal has been used for nearly as long as mankind has thrived. From the times of the cavemen to present day, coal is used for everything from cooking to heating to running steam-powered trains to generating electricity. Today, coal is burned as fuel or gasified to create a synthesis gas (syngas) that can then be used as a feedstock for the production of chemicals, fertilizer and electric power. Coal is also used for producing heat through combustion. The USA, Russia, Australia, China, India and South Africa have the largest coal reserves in the world. Coal is produced in 25 states in the US, spread across three coal-producing regions. The majority of the current production originates in just five states: Wyoming, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Montana. The importance of coal ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About the Industry The steel industry can well be termed the backbone of modern society considering steel’s varied uses, be it in construction, transport, electrical appliances, food packaging and the like. In terms of its composition, steel is an alloy of iron and carbon containing less than 2% carbon and 1% manganese and small amounts of silicon, phosphorus, sulfur and oxygen. Steel products are classified into four broad categories: flat steel products, long steel products, scrap and semi-finished products. Flat products include plates, hot-rolled strip and sheets, and cold-rolled strip and sheets. The long steel product category includes wire rods, beams, reinforced bars and merchant bars. The products under both these categories are rolled from steel slabs, which are considered as unfinished or semi-finished products that are generally not sold. ]]></description>

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) dropped 0.1% to finish the day at 12,845.13. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) edged down 0.04% and signed off yesterday’s trading session virtually unchanged at 1,344.33.

The industry is oligarchic in structure, with a few producers accounting for the lion’s share of the output. The largest segment of the global metals market is iron and steel followed by aluminum. The iron and steel segment comprises more than half the industry in terms of volume. This industry includes metal ore exploration and mining services, as well as iron and steel foundries for smelting, rolling, forging, spinning, recycling, stamping, polishing and plating of iron and steel products, such as pipes, tubes, wire, spring, rolls and bars.

		<description><![CDATA[We have maintained our Underperform recommendation on oil refiner and marketer Sunoco Inc (SUN). Lately, investors have been selling the stock for its weak fundamentals and tepid outlook. The disappointing first quarter results have added to this bearishness. Sunoco, which competes in the Oil Refining and Marketing industry with firms like Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) and Tesoro Corp. (TSO), currently has a Zacks #4 Rank (Sell rating) for the short run. In recent times, a number of issues have stalled the company’s stock price. Operational reliability problems and increased unscheduled downtime – that led to a dull first quarter in which the company lost $1.01 per share – have overshadowed its gains from successful restructuring initiatives over the last two years. We expect these concerns to act as a drag ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The World Steel industry is rather concentrated in structure, with a few producers accounting for the lion’s share of sales. Steel products are classified into four broad categories: flat steel products, long steel products, scrap and semi-finished products. Flat products include plates, hot-rolled strip and sheets and cold-rolled strip and sheets. The long steel product category comprises wire rods, beams, reinforced bars and merchant bars. The products under both these categories are rolled from steel slabs, which are considered as unfinished or semi-finished products that are generally not sold. Historically, the automotive and construction markets have remained the largest consumers of steel, absorbing more than half of the total steel produced. Large automakers such as General Motors Company (GM), Ford Motor Company (F), Toyota Motor Corporation (TM) and Honda Motor ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Marc Lichtenfeld, Senior Analyst, Investment U Wednesday, June 22, 2011: Issue #1540 While most investors are focused on precious metals, I prefer to look for investment opportunities in markets less traveled. Sure, precious metals are still wildly popular – or not popular enough – depending on who you ask. And they’re always in the mainstream consciousness. Either the dollar is going to be worthless and gold and silver will be the only true stores of value, or precious metals are in a bubble and will correct to more reasonable levels. Again, it depends who you ask. But there’s another type of metal that I have my eye on. It’s one that hasn’t enjoyed the kind of run-up that gold and silver had recently. Steel, and the companies that make ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We currently maintained our Neutral recommendation on South Korean steelmaker POSCO (PKX). POSCO is the world’s third largest steelmaker on the basis of output. The company primarily manufactures steel for the shipping and construction industries and operates through its two steel production facilities, the Pohang Works and the Gwangyang Works. POSCO is in a position to reap the benefits from its wide regional diversification, self-sufficiency in raw materials and higher proportion of value-added products in its product mix over the longer term. According to the World Steel Association, global steel demand will grow by 6% in both 2011 and 2012 due to continued growth in demand from the emerging markets. The company is also branching off into fast-growing industries like graphene and synthetic natural gas. Recently, POSCO announced that it ]]></description>

Mining works at the site were halted and all miners returned to the surface. Luckily, no carbon monoxide was detected in the long wall 3-1-9&#8242;s active mine-working. The mine&#8217;s experts are working on the way to liquidate the source of self-heating. The mine&#8217;s entire production infrastructure, including transport, ventilation, pumps, power facilities, tunneling faces and active mine-working areas are operational and safe. The date when mining is resumed will be determined once the project of liquidating the source of self-heating is complete. The company will not suffer much losses as the mine&#8217;s storages hold enough coal for the company to meet all its contractual obligations. Halting the mine&#8217;s ]]></description>

The company commenced construction of the plant on June 7 at Gwangyang Steelworks. POSCO E&#38;C will be responsible for the construction of the SNG plant with an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons. The plant, which is going to be a secured source of energy for the region, will be constructed using environment friendly technologies. Synthetic natural gas is a new alternative to Liquid Natural Gas (LNG), prepared by gasifying low-cost coal at high pressure and temperature and, subsequently, purified. This product, serving as a welcome substitute, opens up new avenue to restrict annual import of LNG worth KRW 200 billion in Korea. We believe ]]></description>

(CLF) announced that it has resumed underground mining at its Oak Grove coal mine in Alabama but was not  able to ship coal from the site because of damage to the above-ground facilities. On April 27, 2011, severe weather and a tornado had snapped power and damaged the mine’s preparation plants, resulting in the shutdown of the mine. Due to the severe damage to the mine, the company is evaluating the damage to the preparation plant, the impact on its full-year outlook and how soon it can safely bring it back into production to meet the customers&#8217; needs.

The iron and steel segment comprises more than half the industry in terms of volume. This industry includes metal ore exploration and mining services, as well as iron and steel foundries for smelting, rolling, forging, spinning, recycling, stamping, polishing and plating of iron and steel products such as pipes, tubes, wire, spring, rolls and bars.

		<description><![CDATA[The global Steel industry is rather concentrated in structure, with a few producers accounting for the lion’s share of sales. ArcelorMittal (MT) is the world’s largest steel company, with projected crude steel production of 90.6 million tons in 2011. Steel products can be classified into four broad categories: flat steel products, long steel products, scrap and semi-finished products. Flat products include plates, hot-rolled strip and sheets, and cold-rolled strip and sheets. The long steel product category comprises wire rods, beams, reinforced bars and merchant bars. The products under both these categories are rolled from steel slabs, which are considered as unfinished or semi-finished products that are generally not sold. Historically, the automotive and construction markets have remained the largest consumers of steel, absorbing more than half of total steel produced. ]]></description>

However, the gains were limited by falling energy prices which were hit by China’s interest rate increase intended to control rising inflation. Fast-food giant McDonald’s (NYSE:MCD) has reported strong sales for the month of January around the world except for the US. Reacting to this news, share prices of McDonald’s increased 2.6%. The Dow rose by 0.59% and closed at 12,233.15. The S&#38;P 500 gained 0.42% and ended the day at 1,324.57. The Nasdaq composite edged up 0.47% and closed at 2,797.05.

The industry is oligarchic in structure, with a few producers accounting for the lion’s share of the output. The largest segment of the global metals market is iron and steel, followed by aluminum. The iron and steel segment comprises more than half the industry in terms of volume. This industry includes metal ore exploration and mining services, iron and steel foundries for smelting, rolling, forging, spinning, recycling, stamping, polishing and plating of iron and steel products such as pipes, tubes, wire, spring, rolls and bars.

If we add companies engaged in the extraction of iron ore and coking coal for the processing of iron and steel, this industry includes metal ore exploration and mining services, iron and steel foundries for smelting, rolling, forging, spinning, recycling, stamping, polishing and plating of iron and steel products such as pipes, tubes, wires, springs, rolls and bars. ArcelorMittal (MT) is the world’s largest steel company, with crude steel production of 73.2 million tons in 2009, representing about 6% of the world steel output.

		<description><![CDATA[If you lived through the Great Depression, you’d likely remember the song: “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” These days, commodity investors are singing a slightly different tune: “Brother, Can You Spare a Nickel.” And they’re singing it for very different reasons. You see, the value of the metal in a U.S. 5-cent coin now stands at 6.2 cents. Nickel has jumped about 45% since the start of 2010, while copper and aluminum have risen merely 5%. And since its low point in late 2008, the commodity’s price has more than tripled to $27,500 a ton thanks to strong demand from the stainless steel industry along with supply disruptions. This year’s upswing will have a significant impact on mining companies such as Brazil’s Vale ADR (NYSE: VALE) and Russia’s Norilsk ]]></description>

The industry is oligarchic in structure, with a few producers accounting for the lion’s share of production. Geographically, the Asia-Pacific region is witnessing higher production and consumption of metals, especially China and India. Their per capita consumption levels are graduating to U.S./European levels, which could &#8212; theoretically, at least &#8212; double metal demand in the longer term. Historically, the automotive and construction markets have been the largest drivers of metal consumption, accounting for more than 50% of the total demand. Other metal consuming industries include energy, electrical equipment, agricultural, domestic and commercial equipment and industrial machinery.

		<description><![CDATA[The Indian stock market is booming. Having fallen along with other world markets during last year’s crash, it actually bucked the global trend and was nowhere near testing its multi-year lows. And on Monday, Indian shares hit a 25-month high. India’s stock market returns over the past couple of years have actually beaten most other global markets. And with good reason… While it’s still classed as an emerging market, India’s strength comes from the fact that its internal market is not only huge, but also better insulated than China, Brazil, Russia and South Korea. It operates at its own pace, seemingly oblivious to what happens around it. With a population of over one billion, India has a huge edge over smaller emerging markets because it has the critical mass to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, ArcelorMittal (MT) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to form a joint venture with Turkish partner Dayen to build a steel mini-mill with electric furnace in Sulaimaniyah, Northern Iraq. In its initial phase, the mill will produce up to 250,000 tons per year of bars from locally sourced scrap and require investment of $100 million to $130 million, jointly contributed by ArcelorMittal and Dayen. Construction is expected to start in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and production will commence early in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Later, production could eventually increase to 500,000 tons per year. The company will benefit from the increase in demand for steel products in the local construction industry. ArcelorMittal expects a surge in steel demand in the coming months largely due to ]]></description>

The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at net earnings of 2 cents in the first quarter. Nucor had reported a loss of 60 cents in the first quarter of 2008. Nucor’s guidance is driven by higher expected operating rates at its beam and bar mills. The company is anticipating operating rates of 55% and 63% at its beam and bar mills, respectively, in the first quarter, up from 11% and 10% in the previous quarter. Nucor also foresees 85% and 90% utilization at its sheet and plate mills, up 22% each from prior quarter levels. With ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research Friday, February 12, 2010 Back in September, I wrote about the “real man of steel,” Lakshmi Mittal, Chairman and primary owner of ArcelorMittal ADR (NYSE: MT). His company produces nearly 10% of the world’s steel and three times more than his closest competitor. Last fall, he disagreed with the largely downcast outlook analysts had about the industry. For that matter, he had an optimistic outlook even last July, when he predicted a 10% increase in steel output for 2010. At the time, people didn’t think much of his forecast. But today, analysts actually expect 11.2% this year, which would more than compensate for the 10.3% decline the industry saw in 2009, the biggest drop it experienced in more than six decades. Still, even with ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ArcelorMittal (MT) entered into initial discussions with BHP Billiton (BHP) to potentially combine their respective iron ore mining and infrastructure interests in Liberia and Guinea in a joint venture. The iron ore interests of the two companies in Liberia and in Guinea are proximate and could be significantly more competitive if brought together in a combined operation. The parties will work together over the coming months to assess the merits of a partnership and will also work closely with the governments involved. In response to the recent uncertain market conditions, steel makers had implemented cost reduction initiatives, through which companies have succeeded in offsetting some of the negative impact of weak market conditions. Although, the profits were low compared to the previous year, industry witnessed a substantial improvement on a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Metals &#38; Mining Industry encompasses the extraction (mining), as well as the primary and secondary processing, of metals and minerals. The industry is rather concentrated in structure, with a few producers accounting for the lion’s share of sales. Geographically, the Asia-Pacific region is witnessing higher production and consumption of metals, especially China and India. This is due to the per capita consumption in these two counties approaching the U.S./European levels, which could ? theoretically at least ? double metal demand in the longer term. Historically, the automotive and construction markets have been the largest drivers of metal consumption, more than 50% of the total demand. Other metal consuming industries include energy, electrical equipment, agricultural, domestic and commercial equipment and industrial machinery. Large automakers such as General Motors, Ford Motor ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, ArcelorMittal (MT) signed a definitive agreement to divest its minority interest in Wabush Mines, Canada, for $34.28 million. ArcelorMittal’s 28.6% stake in the Wabush Mines joint venture is being sold to Consolidated Thompson Iron Mines Ltd. Consolidated Thompson plans to finance the transaction with existing cash and credit facilities. Other terms of the transaction were not released. ArcelorMittal&#8217;s stake in Wabush Mines is no longer a core part of the company&#8217;s mining strategy. The mine represented 31 million tons of iron ore reserve and 1.2 million tons of iron ore produced for ArcelorMittal in 2008. After the disposal, ArcelorMittal continues to have significant mining operations and resources in Canada including ArcelorMittal Mines Canada, formerly Quebec Cartier Mining. Canada also remains an important jurisdiction for ArcelorMittal&#8217;s future growth ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, ArcelorMittal (MT) completed the pricing of its 30-year, $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 7% bonds due in 2039. The yield of the bonds is 7.4%. Net proceeds from the transaction will be $943.3 million (before expense), which will be used for general corporate purpose. The offering is scheduled to close on Oct 6, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions. ArcelorMittal expects a surge in steel demand in the coming months largely due to the technical recovery that is taking place as inventory de-stocking nears completion. According to the data issued by the World Steel Association last week, global crude steel production dropped more than 10% year-on-year in July but was at its highest level in 2009. Production totaled 103.9 million tons, down 11.1% from July 2008 but ]]></description>
