    MARKET CONCERNED OVER GROWTH OF ENERGY AND MATERIAL COSTS

    Notizie

    As you will certainly be aware, from either personal, business or media reporting, there has been alarming growth in both Gas and Electricity affecting nearly all markets around the world. Since the beginning of 2021, we have seen gas and electricity prices increase at an exponential rate, to levels that are at least 2.5-3 times the typical seasonal price level.

     

    Aside from raising energy costs the costs for Ferro alloys and additions, particularly those that are Silicon and Magnesium based, have grown exponentially in the last 6 months, reaching 20 years highs.
