China’s steel output, which accounts for about half the world’s total, rose 1.2 percent in the first half, the World Steel Association said July 20. Production will climb about 5 percent this year as the nation’s $586 billion infrastructure stimulus package takes effect, according to Gilberto Cardoso, an analyst with Banif Securities in Rio.

The recent slump in global steel industry production, with many companies operating at half usual output levels, marks the biggest collapse since World War II, according to the World Steel Association.

Steelmaker Cuts

ArcelorMittal, the world’s biggest steelmaker, and Nippon Steel Corp., Asia’s largest, cut output by as much as 45 percent earlier this year, while Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais SA, Brazil’s second-biggest producer, halved production.

Vale, Rio and BHP control about 70 percent of the seaborne trade in iron ore.

Vale may report second-quarter net income of about $1.12 billion on July 29, according to the median of three estimates in a Bloomberg survey, compared with $5.01 billion a year earlier, after prices fell.
