Steel prices remain at historically elevated levels. The rapid
growth of steel production and demand in China is widely considered
as a major cause of the increases in both steel prices and the
prices of steelmaking inputs. Steel companies have achieved much
greater pricing power, in part through an ongoing consolidation of
the industry. Most of the integrated side of the industry, nearly
half of U.S. production, is controlled by just two companies: U.S.
Steel, the traditional industry leader, and Mittal Steel, itself
the result of multiple international mergers. Moreover, Mittal's
2006 acquisition of the global number-two producer, Arcelor, may
further shake up the industry. Nucor and Gerdau have been active
major consolidators of U.S. minimill production.
