  6. Steel Economy • Historically, U.S. GDP below 2.89% has resulted in a contraction in steel usage • In the 4th quarter of 2006, producers reduced production to react to build up of inventories • U.S. demand for raw materials to produce steel declined • Impact on domestic commodity prices • Export market helped determine domestic prices and acted as pricing floor

  7. Tight supplies  rising steel prices  double orders  inventory build.Inventories at Service Centers rose 23% from April 2004 to April 2005, then declined by 18% by year end. Inventories rose 22% from Jan-Oct 2006 before declining slightly in November. SmewsStats/SVC INV

  13. Transportation • Throughout scrap industry, significant investments continue to be made in transportation assets • Increasingly becoming a part of “total investment capital” versus an outsourced service • Transportation shortages have been a primary driver of market volatility

  14. Selected Current Scrap Consolidations

  15. Scrap Futures • Primary reasons it hasn’t (won’t ?) occur: • Traded products must be universally acceptable • Ferrous scrap qualities / traits vary from region to region • Liquidity requirement • Speculators need a liquid financial market • Credit-worthiness of market participants • Private nature of scrap industry limits the availability of financial information • Regionalization • Ferrous scrap more freight sensitive than many other commodities (i.e., low value to weight ratio) • Physical attributes / qualities of scrap vary from region to region • Price Discovery Mechanism • There must be a Buyer / Seller of last resort (inventory must be held)
