Speaking at the Eurometal Steel Day & YISAD Flat Steel Conference, organized in collaboration with SteelOrbis at the Istanbul Marriott Hotel Asia on Tuesday, March 24, Hakan Aran, CEO of Turkish bank İş Bankası, stated that uncertainty in the global economy and geopolitical outlook has reached its highest level. However, he emphasized that current developments should not be viewed as coincidental, but rather as part of a broader transformation. Mr. Aran noted that the period of monetary expansion following the 2008 crisis did not actually resolve the underlying problems, and that, with the pandemic, disruptions in supply chains, demand imbalances and misguided capacity expansion decisions have created new global vulnerabilities. He added that in Turkey this process has extended into the past three years, characterized by high inflation, exchange rate increases, and subsequently tight monetary policies. Hakan Aran: Turkey could become a strategic production and supply hub due to regional reconstruction needs and demand from nearby markets.

🎙️ The Middle East Ripple Effect on US Macroeconomic Outlook In the latest episode of SteelOrbis’ AI-powered podcastseries, we explore the "butterfly effect" of regional instability on the North American economy under the light of the latest S&P Global Ratings report. From the "stealth tax" of rising energy prices on the American consumer to the growing default risks in lower-rated corporate segments, we break down why the "soft landing" is now on thinner ice. 🎧 Listen on Spotify: go.steelorbis.com/4sjEHul 📌 S&P warns impact of war in Middle East on US economy S&P Global Ratings has assessed the potential macroeconomic effects of the ongoing war in the Middle East, focusing on its implications for the US economy and related sectors, including metals and mining. The agency stated that its base-case scenario assumes the conflict remains contained and relatively short-lived, limiting its overall economic impact. According to S&P, the US economy is expected to remain resilient under the base-case scenario, with no significant disruption to growth. However, the agency noted that the conflict could still influence economic conditions through specific transmission channels and US economic growth could slow down, particularly if tensions escalate or persist. Energy prices and inflation remain key risks S&P identified oil prices as the main channel through which the war could affect the US economy. A rise in oil prices could: - increase inflationary pressures, - affect consumer spending, - and influence monetary policy expectations. These developments could lead to tighter financial conditions. S&P emphasized that a more severe or prolonged conflict could result in stronger increases in energy prices, broader inflationary effects and increased volatility in financial markets. Such a scenario could have more pronounced consequences for the US economy, with knock-on effects for industrial sectors, including steel-related value chains... 🔗 Read more on SteelOrbis: go.steelorbis.com/3Pj6kVG

📌 GCC steel trade faces mounting uncertainty as Hormuz disruption reshapes trade flows and logistics Uncertainty has been growing across the GCC steel market in recent weeks as disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to affect established trade flows and logistics patterns. Cargo movements have become less predictable, while freight conditions remain highly volatile, prompting market participants to act cautiously. At the same time, concerns over potential supply tightness have started to emerge, leading to increased efforts to identify alternative routes and workable logistics solutions. Egypt’s Red Sea ports have emerged as key beneficiaries of this shift, reporting increased cargo activity as shipments are redirected away from the Gulf. According to local media reports, some steel cargoes are being discharged at Red Sea gateways and then routed onward via land connections toward GCC markets, though longer transit times and additional handling requirements have increased overall logistics costs. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has been strengthening its inland logistics capabilities through the expansion of its trucking network to support cross-border freight movement across the GCC. According to official statements, this is aimed at ensuring smoother cargo distribution, particularly for shipments arriving through Red Sea ports. At the same time, the Oman-UAE corridor has gained importance as an alternative route, with ports such as Sohar increasingly used as entry points for diverted cargo. According to regional reports, this corridor is expected to facilitate cargo flows into the UAE, although recent security concerns near some Omani ports have added to market caution. “Nothing is clear yet. There are still no firm offers in the HRC segment, as market players are trying to find workable routes. Freight remains highly uncertain and, with the recent issues around some Omani ports, suppliers are staying cautious,” a UAE-based source commented, SteelOrbis... 🔗 Full story: go.steelorbis.com/4sfKMb3

🎙️ The HRC Crisis - Gulf Strategy Under Siege In the latest episode of SteelOrbis' AI-powered podcast series, we analyze the logistical disaster faced by Chinese producers in the Gulf region and the domino effect this crisis has had on global prices. How did the Hormuz blockade, combined with anti-dumping barriers in Vietnam, leave Chinese giants caught between two fires? How will the disruptions at Jebel Ali Port and the freight shock impact the Turkish and European markets? 🎧 Listen on Spotify: go.steelorbis.com/4dm8QEq 📜 Chinese HRC exporters face growing disruptions as war halts Gulf trade Chinese hot rolled coil (HRC) exporters have been encountering serious disruptions in shipments to the Gulf region following the escalation of the war between US-Israel and Iran, which has created uncertainty around maritime safety and logistics through the Strait of Hormuz - a key route for steel cargoes moving from Asia to the Middle East. In recent days, several Chinese mills are reported to have stopped issuing new export offers to Gulf buyers as freight conditions and insurance coverage for vessels transiting the strait remain unclear. Market participants said freight rates for shipments to the region have already risen by around $10/mt, which means around $50-55/mt for large-volume cargoes of HRC, while the lack of security guarantees has made both buyers and sellers reluctant to conclude new deals. The logistical disruption has also affected cargoes already at sea. According to market insiders, ships that had departed Chinese ports and were approaching Gulf waters were advised to divert and discharge at alternative ports outside the strait. Additional complications have arisen after operational disruptions were reported at Jebel Ali port in Dubai, the largest port in the region, while security concerns have reduced staffing levels at many trading offices and logistics facilities across the UAE... 📌 Read on SteelOrbis: go.steelorbis.com/4rJHOe5

Korea and China Turkey’s Ministry of Trade has published the final disclosure report regarding the antidumping investigation on cold rolled steel, galvanized and painted coils from China and South Korea. The investigation was launched on December 25, 2024 upon the application made by the Cold Rolled Galvanized and Painted Coil Producers Association (SOGAD) on behalf of local producers. The investigation, which covers the period between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2023, found that imports of the given products from South Korea and China were dumped and injured the local industry. As a result, dumping margins calculated as a percentage of the CIF price, are at 24.85 percent for China-based Angang Steel, 32.09 percent for Baoshan Iron & Steel, 30.89 percent for Shougang Jingtang United Iron & Steel, 30.89 percent for 14 companies including Baosteel Zhanjiang Iron & Steel and 36 percent for other Chinese companies, while margins are at 14.24 percent for South Korea- based DK Dongshin Co, 12.90 percent for Hyundai Steel Company, 10.48 percent for POSCO, 11.58 percent for Dongkuk Coated Metal, KG Dongbu Steel and POSCO Steeleon, and 27 percent for other South Korean companies.

🎙️ The Hormuz Blockade - Steel Markets Under Fire Is the closure of the Strait of Hormuz the 'Black Swan' event of 2026? Freight rates have surged 20% overnight, find out what it means for steel supply chain in the latest episode of SteelOrbis’ AI-powered podcast series. 🎧 Listen on Spotify: go.steelorbis.com/4u7gF6S "Escalation in Gulf disrupts shipping, steel may be impacted if war continues" The US-Israeli military strikes against Iran, which started on February 28, and Iran’s subsequent retaliation, have naturally created a tense situation in the Gulf, affecting operations in many industrial segments in the regions. The impact has already been seen in the oil and gas sector and the disruptions of maritime activities in and around the region have already been reported. In terms of steel and raw material shipments, there is a potential impact in terms of disruptions of deliveries from Iran itself, mainly to Asia, while the situation in the Strait of Hormuz is likely to result in delays of shipments destined for ports in the Gulf. If the war continues, the situation may lead to higher steel prices in the region, especially for material ready on the ground since buyers may need to restock to replace the volumes for which they had previously placed import orders, the deliveries of which end up being delayed. If the situation is not resolved in the near term, some cargoes may be redirected to alternative destinations, which will also affect steel market prices, at least temporarily. Currently, passage through the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, though there has been no official closure. However, the number of vessels opting for this route has declined significantly. “Transportation is basically stopped today, but it looks like a short-term stoppage,” one international trader said. At present, there are vessels stuck on both sides of the straight as transportation is risky and several ships have already been attacked... 🔗 Read on SteelOrbis: go.steelorbis.com/40Hf0HM
