Tim Rocks Quotations

Our view is that the steel price has bottomed for now and what you're seeing at the moment is very strong demand for steel.

That is an issue. We do still expect the U.S. consumer to slow down in the second half of the year, and oil prices can only contribute to that. But there is probably not enough to create significant economic weakness globally.

For the low-cost producers, they are very profitable now, at (steel) prices that are probably not going to fall.

Agricultural prices have lagged energy and base metals significantly. In time, all commodity prices - metals, energy and food - move together.
