Posco to sell off non-core overseas units in China, Vietnam

Posco Group is fast-tracking the restructuring of its non-core subsidiaries, divesting low-performing overseas businesses as part of a broader strategy to reallocate resources toward high-potential sectors, particularly battery materials. According to industry sources on Monday, Posco International, the trading and resources arm of Posco Group, has agreed to sell its entire stake in Suzhou Pohang Steel to Guangdong Wcan Magnetic Materials. The transaction, valued in the 40 billion won ($29 million) range, is expected to close by June 30. Founded in 2005, Suzhou Pohang Steel, a China steel processing subsidiary, specializes in processing electrical steel and manufacturing motor components, supplying Posco products throughout eastern China. 'It is true that the sale is part of our ongoing restructuring efforts, but final confirmation from the buyer and specific deal terms are still being finalized,' a Posco Group official said. The decision reflects Posco International's strategic assessment that continued operations in China's oversaturated steel market are no longer necessary. Deteriorating conditions for Korean companies in China, exacerbated by rising geopolitical tensions such as US-China trade friction, also contributed to the move. In a separate deal, Posco Engineering & Construction is negotiating the sale of its Vietnamese subsidiary, Posco E&C Vietnam. Busan-based auto parts maker Seoil Casting has been selected as the preferred bidder, and discussions over detailed terms are underway. The subsidiary has been involved in various local construction projects, including steel structures and plant facilities. The deal is estimated to be worth around 17 billion won. Established in 1995 as a joint venture between Posco Construction and Vietnamese state-owned Lilama, holding 70 percent and 30 percent stakes respectively, Posco E&C Vietnam became wholly owned by Posco after it acquired Lilama's stake in 2010. However, the unit has faced persistent challenges, with reports indicating it had fallen into complete capital erosion by mid-2023. The recent moves are part of a broader restructuring initiative announced last year, under which Posco plans to liquidate or divest more than 120 underperforming or non-essential businesses by 2026. The goal is to raise some 2.6 trillion won to reinvest into its core pillars: steel and battery materials. As of the first quarter, the group had already achieved 40 percent of the target.

Korea on high alert as Middle East tensions fuel oil spike, won devaluation

South Korea's market authorities are on high alert amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East region, as surging oil prices threaten the local economy, which is heavily reliant on energy imports. Israel's threat to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping lane for global oil and gas, has triggered concerns over oil prices, renewing inflationary pressure on Korea. Considering Korea is heavily dependent on inbound shipments of energy, inflation could quickly rebound if global oil prices rise. 'The situation remains highly uncertain following the US airstrikes and Iranian Parliament's decision to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. With international oil prices opening 2–3 percent higher today, volatility in global energy prices is expected to intensify," Acting Finance Minister Lee Hyoung-il said at a joint emergency response meeting held Monday. 'Relevant agencies should stay on high alert and closely monitor global energy prices and supply conditions,' Lee said. The Bank of Korea also held an emergency meeting and warned against "excessive volatility in the financial and forex markets," mentioning the possibility of "market stabilization measures." The Korean won's value per dollar depreciated as the greenback, a key safe-haven asset for global investors, strengthened in early trading, as investors sought to shield against mounting geopolitical risks. The devaluation of the Korean won also adds pressure to inflation. A weaker won pushes up import prices, and higher energy costs elevate producer prices at plants here, which eventually feed into consumer prices. The local currency was quoted at 1,382.48 per dollar as of 2 p.m., weakening by 8.48 won from the previous after-hours trading session. After starting daytime trading at 1,375 won, the won has further devalued against the dollar, fluctuating at the 1,380 won range. Market analysts viewed the won could quickly depreciate to the 1,400 level per dollar. 'Amid the global appeal for safe-haven assets, the won could further lose value to the 1,400 level per dollar, depending on the path of the oil prices,' analyst Kim Sang-hoon from KB Securities said. 'If West Texas Intermediate crude trades around $85 per barrel, the won per dollar is likely to rebound to the 1,390–1,420 won range. Should WTI reach $90, the won-dollar rate could overshoot to a 1,430–1,460 won level, approaching the highs in the first quarter," Kim Ho-jung, an analyst at Yuanta Securities, said. The benchmark Kospi remained largely flat as of press time, though it shed some of the gains from Friday when it surpassed the 3,000-point threshold, the first time in over 3 1/2 years. The Kospi stood at 3,007.14 as of 2 p.m., down by 0.49 percent from the previous daytime trading session. At the opening bell, the index started trading at 2,992.2, falling by nearly 30 points from the previous closing. It plunged to as low as 2,971.36 in the early hours but soon regained strength and returned to over 3,000 points shortly after noon, even briefly reaching 3,010.77 during intraday trading as of press time. While foreign investors and institutions dumped shares worth 448 billion won and 788 billion won, respectively, retail investors held the line by scooping up 1.29 trillion won as of 2 p.m.
