This year, Russian metallurgists will focus on the domestic market

The lack of prospects in foreign markets and limited domestic consumption will be forced to reduce Russian metallurgical companies to reduce steel production and enter into competition for local consumers of the metal rolling. This was written by the magazine of metal supply and sales, reports http://montblanc-auto.ru .

The world economy is rapidly changing, consumption is reduced and there is a decline in world prices for raw materials groups. The growing volumes of global oil and gas production negatively affect energy prices. The Russian Federation, actively sponsored ambitious national projects and the 2014 olympics in particular, will be one of the first to feel the consequences of reducing oil and gas prices. Russia's budget deficit has already reached 2.7% of GDP.

Growing wages in the public sector and costly projects led to a budget deficit in the Russian Federation. The decrease in export revenue and the withdrawal of capital from the country against the background of a scarce budget will continue to have a negative impact on the ruble course, which already creates the impression of the overstated, which may indicate the prospects for its weakening.

The announced oil and gas production in the United States can grow one and a half times. Following the shale gas, the Japanese developed by the Japanese technology for the production of methane hydrate from permafrost is able to make a revolution in the energy sector. Reservation steel in China presses on prices.

Given the current low profitability of metallurgy, a serious decrease in prices for expensive ruble should not be expected, but periodic positional deficits will only increase, which will be the main source of profit in short -term transactions ... and the potential for reducing the ruble should not be discouraged.
