		<description><![CDATA[POSCO &#8211; ADR (PKX) reported disappointing financial results in 2011 with the company&#8217;s net earnings falling roughly 12% year over year. Weak margins due to higher raw material costs led to the downfall. Though the company&#8217;s focus on expansion in the fast growing markets, such as graphene and synthetic natural gas, and investments in raw materials should be advantageous, the positive momentum suffers a setback in the near term due to global uncertainty. Steel demand remains soft and lags behind supply, which in turn is hurting prices. Competition is increasing, impeding growth and restricting the stock&#8217;s performance. Thus, we lower our recommendation from Neutral to Underperform with a 6-month target price of $77 per ADR.

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Korean steel producer POSCO (PKX) is on its way to giving Korea its first synthetic natural gas (SNG) plant by the end of year 2013. 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>

The fields covering 6,170 km2 are located offshore in the Northeastern region of Uzbekistan. The oil block exploration project related to the fields in West Ferghana/Chinabad was initiated in February 2010, with KNOC investing 65%, POSCO 20% and Samchully 15% of the total investment. Promotion of energy development in the international arena has been POSCO’s prime focus over time. Via this, the company aims at developing additional sources of energy and increasing its self-sufficiency in resources.

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. houses one of the world&#8217;s largest steel industries. It 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 crude steel production of 73.2 million tons in 2009, representing about 6% of the global steel output. 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 ]]></description>

The iron and steel segment comprises more than half the industry in terms of volume.

		<description><![CDATA[Steel Output Mounting The Steel industry, which consists of companies engaged in the extraction of iron ore and coke coal for the processing of iron and steel, has the major chunk of sales concentrated with a few producers. The 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. The largest drivers of steel consumption have historically been the automotive and construction markets, which make up more than 50% of total steel consumption. Other steel consuming industries include appliances, converters, containers, tin, energy, electrical equipment, agricultural, domestic and commercial equipment and industrial machinery. Large automakers such as General Motors, Ford Motor Company (F), Toyota ]]></description>

Operating income declined 48.7% year over year, while net profit was down 6.3%. The decline in the company’s profit was primarily driven by lower production and a drop in selling prices. The company’s global crude steel production for the quarter was down 8.5%, compared to the year-ago quarter.
