What's on the agenda?


Steel Production and Projections for
H2 2025: Is the Future Brighter?

Steel remains the primary ferroalloys consumption market, and its outlook is pivotal for the industry. While European steel production forecasts remain cautious for all of 2025, other regional projections are more optimistic. Explore regional trends and prepare for a potential shifts in global demand.


Decarbonisation and Sustainability –
Preparing for CBAM

With the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) coming into force in January 2026, the impact on steel contracts starts as early as June 2025. Learn how carbon emissions reporting is reshaping contracts and what it means for your business.


Deglobalisation and the Rise of Criticality

Global trade dynamics are changing rapidly, with new sanctions, tariffs, and export restrictions creating material scarcity and driving up raw material costs. Discover how the industry is navigating these challenges, from stockpiling strategies to adapting to higher costs.


Ferroalloys Demand Drivers – Energy Transition's Role

Steel applications, including stainless, high-strength, and specialty steels, drive ferroalloy demand. However, renewables, ESSs, BEVs, and industrial electrification increase pressure on critical metals like Mo, Ni, and Co. How does the energy transition impact raw material prices? What does it mean for the steel value chain?
