1. Cheap Steel is Costly
• Mills need to buy iron ores, scraps, coking coal, lime stone, etc. to operate the plant.
• Raw material costs worldwide are similar though there is logistics difference.
• The main reasons leading to price difference are cost gap in finance, labor and
depreciation. Chinese mills are better than European counterparts in labor & finance
costs only.
