Steel market poises for recovery as trade & geopolitical risks ease

17 Feb 2025 11:21 reported by Stanley Wang

A A A
With Trump's return to the White House, global markets are closely watching the impact of new trade tariffs. The chairman of Taiwan's Dragon Steel, the only wholly integrated steel plant with both an electric arc furnace and two blast furnaces in Taiwan, indicated that as Trump's policies become clearer, key factors hindering steel demand will gradually subside, potentially leading to a market rebound in the second quarter.

He highlighted four major concerns affecting steel demand. First, he noted that market uncertainty following Trump's election led to cautious investments and stalling demand. However, as policies take shape, this uncertainty is expected to diminish.

Additionally, China's weak real estate sector weighed on its economy, but ongoing stimulus efforts could soon yield positive effects. The upcoming "Two Sessions" meeting in March may introduce further economic measures to counter trade pressures.

Geopolitical tensions are also shifting. The Russia-Ukraine war shows signs of resolution, and the Israel-Hamas conflict reached a ceasefire in January. With global risks easing and reconstruction demand rising, the steel market is set for a gradual recovery.
