NLMK, one of the leading steel producers of Russia has released 2019 Q2 operational performance results on 15 Jul’19. The highlights are as follows

This has resulted in reduction of 9% Y-o-Y steel output. Another reason for decrease in output at NLMK Russia was due to low demand for billets in export market.
2. Sales declined by 7% against last quarter and 3% on Y-o-Y basis amid reduced output and sales of commercial slabs and billets. The company’s sales for this quarter were recorded at 4,300 MT.
