Manufacturers, restaurants and other businesses are also desperate for workers.<blockquote>从计算机芯片和木材到氯气和油罐车司机，一切都供不应求。制造商、餐馆和其他企业也急需工人。</blockquote>Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency warned this week that there isn't enough copper, lithium and other raw earth minerals available to make global clean energy ambitions a reality. The world risks \"running out of copper,\" Bank of America strategists said in a recent note to clients.<blockquote>与此同时，国际能源署本周警告说，没有足够的铜、锂和其他原始地球矿物来实现全球清洁能源雄心。美国银行策略师在最近给客户的一份报告中表示，世界面临“铜耗尽”的风险。</blockquote>Much like lumber, the steel industry was caught off guard by the rapid recovery in demand that began last summer — especially in the auto industry.<blockquote>就像木材一样，钢铁行业对去年夏天开始的需求快速复苏感到措手不及——尤其是在汽车行业。</blockquote>\"All of a sudden people were buying lots of cars,\" said Tanners, the Bank of America analyst.<blockquote>美国银行分析师坦纳斯表示：“突然之间，人们购买了很多汽车。”</blockquote>And it took time for America's aging steel mills to resume the production they had sharply cut at the onset of the pandemic. Steel inventories shrank rapidly and shipments were delayed, just as steel buyers began ordering more than usual.<blockquote>美国老化的钢厂需要一段时间才能恢复疫情爆发时大幅削减的产量。钢材库存迅速缩水，发货延迟，就在钢材买家开始比平时订购更多的时候。</blockquote>'Peak' prices?<blockquote>“峰值”价格？</blockquote>The good news, for steel buyers at least, is that analysts say all of the US steel production capacity that was idled during the pandemic has returned.<blockquote>至少对钢铁买家来说，好消息是分析师表示，疫情期间闲置的所有美国钢铁产能都已恢复。</blockquote>That's why Tanners said she's very confident the shortage will soon end, causing steel prices to collapse. History shows that steel stocks \"tend to peak\" a month or so before steel prices, Tanners wrote in her report.<blockquote>这就是为什么坦纳斯表示，她非常有信心短缺将很快结束，导致钢铁价格暴跌。坦纳斯在报告中写道，历史表明，钢铁库存“往往会在钢铁价格上涨前一个月左右达到顶峰”。</blockquote>She said US Steel in particular is vulnerable to a commodity downturn because it has the most amount of debt and the greatest need to spend to upgrade its plants.<blockquote>她表示，美国钢铁尤其容易受到大宗商品低迷的影响，因为它的债务最多，也最需要支出来升级工厂。</blockquote>But for now, steel stocks may continue to look attractive to investors because the industry is minting money at the moment. The North American flat steel sector is expected to generate record earnings in 2021, according to Citigroup.<blockquote>但就目前而言，钢铁股可能继续对投资者具有吸引力，因为该行业目前正在赚钱。花旗集团表示，北美扁钢行业预计将在2021年创造创纪录的收益。</blockquote>\"Current steel prices are peak (or close to it) ... and will correct sharply lower at some point,\" Citi analyst Alexander Hacking wrote in a note to clients Wednesday. \"The current scenario presents investors with the classic peak earnings dilemma.\"<blockquote>花旗分析师亚历山大·哈金(Alexander Hacking)周三在给客户的一份报告中写道：“目前的钢铁价格已达到峰值（或接近峰值）……并将在某个时候大幅回调。”“目前的情况给投资者带来了典型的盈利峰值困境。”</blockquote>Hacking warned though that steel stocks can't escape a commodity downturn. \"We can recall exactly zero examples where steel equities have gone up during 25%+ metal price corrections,\" he wrote.<blockquote>不过，哈金警告称，钢铁股无法逃脱大宗商品低迷的影响。他写道：“我们可以回忆起钢铁股在金属价格调整25%以上期间上涨的例子。”</blockquote>The fate of Trump's tariffs<blockquote>特朗普关税的命运</blockquote>Of course, those predicting a steel downturn may be underestimating the strength of the global economic recovery. A longer lasting boom could lift steel demand enough to keep prices lofty. Another risk is whether tougher environmental regulations in China will limit steel supply there.<blockquote>当然，那些预测钢铁低迷的人可能低估了全球经济复苏的力度。更持久的繁荣可能会提振钢铁需求，足以维持价格高位。另一个风险是，中国更严格的环境法规是否会限制那里的钢铁供应。</blockquote>One big wildcard is the fate of the tariffs on most imported steel the Trump administration imposed in 2018 to boost the domestic industry.<blockquote>一个很大的通配符是特朗普政府在2018年为提振国内工业而对大多数进口钢铁征收关税的命运。</blockquote>If the Biden administration rolls back even just some of those tariffs, it would ease supply constraints and weigh on steel prices.<blockquote>如果拜登政府仅取消部分关税，就会缓解供应限制并打压钢铁价格。</blockquote>Tanners thinks that is likely to happen in the next 12 months.<blockquote>坦纳斯认为这很可能在未来12个月内发生。</blockquote>\"We are protecting an industry where there is scarcity and prices are almost triple historical averages,\" she said.<blockquote>“我们正在保护一个稀缺且价格几乎是历史平均水平三倍的行业，”她说。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Steel prices have tripled.

And blank-check companies, some backed by celebrities, are raising gobs of money.Even Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has acknowledged the risk of overspeculation.\"You are seeing things in capital markets that are a bit frothy,\" Powell said during last week's press conference. \"That's a fact. I won't say it has nothing to do with monetary policy, but also it has a tremendous amount to do with vaccination and reopening of the economy.\"Yet another shortage as the economy reopensSteel is just the latest shortage to hit the US economy as it recovers from a pandemic that scrambled supply chains and set off sharp shifts in demand.Everything from computer chips and lumber to chlorine and tanker truck drivers are in short supply. Manufacturers, restaurants and other businesses are also desperate for workers.Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency warned this week that there isn't enough copper, lithium and other raw earth minerals available to make global clean energy ambitions a reality. The world risks \"running out of copper,\" Bank of America strategists said in a recent note to clients.Much like lumber, the steel industry was caught off guard by the rapid recovery in demand that began last summer — especially in the auto industry.\"All of a sudden people were buying lots of cars,\" said Tanners, the Bank of America analyst.And it took time for America's aging steel mills to resume the production they had sharply cut at the onset of the pandemic. Steel inventories shrank rapidly and shipments were delayed, just as steel buyers began ordering more than usual.'Peak' prices?The good news, for steel buyers at least, is that analysts say all of the US steel production capacity that was idled during the pandemic has returned.That's why Tanners said she's very confident the shortage will soon end, causing steel prices to collapse. History shows that steel stocks \"tend to peak\" a month or so before steel prices, Tanners wrote in her report.She said US Steel in particular is vulnerable to a commodity downturn because it has the most amount of debt and the greatest need to spend to upgrade its plants.But for now, steel stocks may continue to look attractive to investors because the industry is minting money at the moment. The North American flat steel sector is expected to generate record earnings in 2021, according to Citigroup.\"Current steel prices are peak (or close to it) ... and will correct sharply lower at some point,\" Citi analyst Alexander Hacking wrote in a note to clients Wednesday. \"The current scenario presents investors with the classic peak earnings dilemma.\"Hacking warned though that steel stocks can't escape a commodity downturn. \"We can recall exactly zero examples where steel equities have gone up during 25%+ metal price corrections,\" he wrote.The fate of Trump's tariffsOf course, those predicting a steel downturn may be underestimating the strength of the global economic recovery. A longer lasting boom could lift steel demand enough to keep prices lofty. Another risk is whether tougher environmental regulations in China will limit steel supply there.One big wildcard is the fate of the tariffs on most imported steel the Trump administration imposed in 2018 to boost the domestic industry.If the Biden administration rolls back even just some of those tariffs, it would ease supply constraints and weigh on steel prices.Tanners thinks that is likely to happen in the next 12 months.\"We are protecting an industry where there is scarcity and prices are almost triple historical averages,\" she said.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"IBM":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":536,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":25,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/104336694"}
