July 16 (Reuters) – Russian steel and mining group Evraz Plc
said steel production fell 6 percent in the second
quarter from previous three months, due to maintenance work at
its mills and weaker demand in Europe and South Africa.
Evraz, Russia’s largest steel producer, said prices for most
steel products were marginally flat or a little higher, except
in South Africa where there have been unstable operations at
iron and steel plants and a weak market.
