Global and Middle East Trade Trend of Metallurgical Coke
103€
- TRY: 5,000 ₺
During recent years, growing of environmental concerns has supported expansion of Electric Arc Furnaces usage in steel-making. Since metallurgical coke is largely used in Blast Furnaces, slowing expansion of Blast Furnaces has limited the global demand growth. Moreover, producers of metallurgical coke has been developed close to the steelmakers where the products consumes, leading to reduction in global trade of metallurgical coke. This trend is expected to extend in the foregoing period.

The Trend of Alumina Refineries’ Profitability
103€
- TRY: 5,000 ₺
Bauxite, the main raw material for producing of alumina, has always the greatest portion in production costs of alumina, though its share was permanently lower than overall shares of energy and caustic soda. Since caustic soda production is energy intensive itself, the price of caustic soda consistently changes with energy prices, making energy the key factor in determination of production costs of alumina. Growing trend in energy prices as well as higher bauxites are increasing costs of production in alumina refineries, which can undoubtedly affect their margins.
