The Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates accordingly to curb global steel product name demand growth

The Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates process, for the domestic steel market both positive and negative, will not change the domestic steel market wide shock pattern.

First, the Federal Reserve and other central banks began the process of continuous interest rate hikes

The Federal Reserve recently raised its benchmark interest rate by 75 basis points to a range of 1.50% to 1.75%, the biggest increase since 1994. The Fed had already raised rates twice, first by a quarter point, then by a half point, this time by 75 basis points. The Fed statement also said it would continue to raise interest rates, but ruled out increases of 75 basis points each time. There is a view that the Federal Reserve in July to raise interest rates 50 basis points is still a large probability event, September is likely to continue to raise interest rates 50 basis points, a total of 300 basis points is expected this year.

At the same time, since this year, the world's major central banks have also started or accelerated the process of interest rate hikes. Recently, India and Australia have started a new interest rate hike cycle again. The European Central Bank also announced an end to monetary easing and will raise interest rates in July.

Second, continue to increase interest rates to curb global steel demand growth

The immediate goal of the Fed and other central banks to raise interest rates so sharply is to tame surging inflation, but the side effect is to stifle economic growth and increase the risk of recession. According to the latest economic forecasts released by the Federal Reserve, the median FORECAST of US GDP growth for this year, next year and the next three years is 1.7%, 1.7% and 1.9% respectively, which are all significantly lower than their forecasts in March. The World Bank recently downgraded its global growth forecast again. The economic slowdown in the United States and the world and the increase in the risk of recession will inevitably lead to a corresponding global steel demand restraint, which is not good news for China's steel export demand, especially indirect steel export.

On the other hand, the worsening global growth environment will also increase the counter-cyclical adjustment efforts of Chinese policy makers to stimulate domestic demand and ensure that the economy operates within a reasonable range.

Steel processing industry - Current status of the slitting line equipment

Growth in the construction, automotive and consumer slitting line equipment has played a big role in providing the needed boost to the global steel processing industry. The global steel processing industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.86% between 2020 and 2026. Alloy steel is the fastest-growing segment of the global steel processing market and is suitable for all applications.

Metal and Steel Processing industry – the slitting line equipment market demand

Market demand for steel processing is expected to grow by us $642.43 billion by 2020, with a CAGR of 2.16% from 2015 to 2020. Growth in the global construction, consumer electronics and automotive industries has played a huge role in providing the necessary momentum for the global steel processing industry after the economic slowdown of 2007-2009. In addition, the reduction of alternatives to steel has made steel an indispensable part of customers lives. The recovery of the global slitting line equipment economy will also boost demand in the steel processing market.

The Asia-pacific region is expected to become the fastest-growing region in the steel processing market from 2015 to 2020. Major players in steel processing prefer agreements, contracts, joint venture and partnership strategies as well as expansion and investment to gain a larger share of the market. Leading slitting line equipment providers of steel processed products and services are focusing on emerging countries that are expected to show potential for industrial development in the near future.

Metal and Steel Processing Industry - Future planning of the slitting line equipment

The steel processing market is a highly fragmented one due to the huge demand for environmentally friendly products and changing technologies. Large companies rely on regional and local distributors to increase their market share and geographic distribution. The company is pursuing inorganic growth strategies such as acquisitions to respond to the growing demand for steel processing in key emerging markets. These strategies have helped the company build a larger customer and partner base in key slitting line equipment markets.

The application needs of steel processing are constantly changing and manufacturers must continue to invest in RESEARCH and development and come up with innovative solutions.

Steel deep processing is the only way for the development of the slitting line equipment steel industry. Chinas steel production is in the stage of oversupply, structural contradictions are: advanced production capacity and backward production capacity coexist; The shortage of high-end products and the surplus of low-end products coexist; Industrial concentration is poor.

Leading manufacturer of metallic processing machines, the slitting line equipment supplier

Foshan Te Xiang Machinery Co., Ltd ( www.txmachinery.net ) is a China leading manufacturer of metallic processing machines, including slitting line, cut to length line , stainless steel polishing line, ERW tube mill line, roll forming machines, embossing line and etc.

Thanks to the experience acquired in many years of business in the field of sheet metal processing, and the continuous collaboration with downstream manufacturers that demand reliability and the maximum productivity, we have developed various types of cut to length line machines for special applications, with solutions at the forefront of technology, and able to reduce the production costs of the end product. TX CTL line can be incorporated with air cushioned, bomb-door type stackers, computer controlled high-precision 4 HI and 6 HI levellers, edge trimmer and etc.
