Russia’s Metalloinvest Plans New Green Metallurgy Project Worth $2 bn

MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2024 – Metalloinvest, a leading global producer of iron ore products for green steel production, has announced a new investment project worth over $2 billion in central Russia.
The company plans to build a plant at its Mikhailovsky GOK unit in the Kursk region, which will produce more than 7 million tonnes of premium-quality iron ore concentrate annually from oxidized iron quartzites – a type of iron ore previously not used in production due to the lack of suitable technologies. Metalloinvest, in collaboration with Russian scientists, has developed a technology for enriching this ore. The new production facility is expected to begin operating in 2028.
The concentrate obtained from oxidized quartzites will enable the production of iron ore pellets with an iron content of up to 68% and a low level of silicon dioxide. This product meets the latest market requirements and is an environmentally friendly product for use in green metallurgy based on direct reduction of iron.
Direct reduction of iron helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the steelmaking industry. Metalloinvest is the world’s largest producer of merchant hot briquetted iron – a type of direct reduced iron used to produce steel with a low carbon footprint.
The new project will reduce the cost of ore extraction at Mikhailovsky GOK and create 900 jobs. The capacity of the new production facility may be later increased to 11 million tonnes of premium iron ore concentrate per year. The total reserves of oxidized iron quartzites at the Mikhailovsky deposit amount to 2.6 billion tonnes.

SIBUR Develops Industrial Tourism at Its Green Enterprise

MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2024 – SIBUR, Russia’s largest producer of polymers and rubber, has opened its green enterprise, the Polief plant in the Bashkiriya region, for industrial tourism. Tourists visit Polief to learn about the solar power plant and the technology used to produce plastics from recycled materials.
In 2022, Polief began operating a solar power plant consisting of more than 10,000 photovoltaic cells and covering an area equivalent to 10 football fields. The 4.9 MW of solar power generated helps the plant reduce its CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions by 3,000 tonnes per year.
The launch of a solar generation plant at Polief is one of the flagship climate projects within SIBUR’s sustainable development strategy. The company has registered the plant in the Qatar-backed Global Carbon Council programme and is preparing to receive internationally recognized carbon credits.
Polief uses solar energy to produce eco-friendly products – polymers containing recycled plastic. SIBUR, with the help of partners, has created a network of plastic waste collection points and reverse vending machines for accepting used plastic bottles (PET bottles) across Russia. SIBUR’s partners shred these bottles into small pieces (flakes), which are then sent to Polief for further processing.
Polief produces PET granules containing up to 30% recycled plastic (rPET) under the Vivilen brand, which are then used to make plastic bottles. Visitors touring the plant can see the production workshop as well as the warehouse with big bags of PET flakes, which are mixed with virgin polymer raw materials during production. Over the past year, Polief has welcomed more than 1,000 tourists, including local residents, young people, and industry professionals interested in eco-friendly production technologies.
Polief’s capacities make it possible to incorporate up to 34,000 tonnes of recycled plastic waste into new products annually. This prevents up to 1.7 billion used plastic bottles from ending up in landfills. Vivilen rPET is popular with environmentally responsible producers who use plastic bottles made from rPET for bottling water and beverages.
SIBUR emphasizes that tours at Polief help Russians understand the importance of sorting and recycling waste and incorporating it into the production of new products.

No Rituals, Just Skills: Octa’s Survey Revealed Traders’ Attitude to Luck
‘The Lucky ones’: a global traders’ survey
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2024 – Octa, a financial broker with globally recognised licences, has conducted a global survey about traders’ attitudes to luck called ‘The lucky ones’. Participants answered questions about their attitude to lucky charms, rituals, and other unorthodox practices that helped them succeed in trading. In this article, we will summarise the survey results that shed light on traders’ behaviours and beliefs, providing a unique insight into their mindset.

Octa asked traders from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Nigeria about their attitude to good fortune in trading. The results showed that most traders attribute their profits to continuous learning, extensive hands-on experience, and well-executed strategy rather than the agency of higher powers. However, the survey revealed that various unusual behaviours exist among traders, and it would be wrong to suggest that purely ‘rational’ ideas are the only source of truth in the field.
The average age of ‘The lucky ones’ survey participants varied from 30 in Nigeria to 39 in Malaysia and 42 in Indonesia, while the respondents’ trading experience was virtually the same for all regions and amounted to about two years.
In all three focus regions, the share of believers in luck and its attributes was relatively low. In Malaysia, 25% of traders professed to counting on luck in all its forms, as compared with 20% in Nigeria and only 9% in Indonesia. This discrepancy can be explained by obvious differences in cultural background and religious beliefs between the nations.
Out of the three countries covered by the survey, Malaysia comes across as the one where traders are most likely to perform various trading rituals before, during, or after their trading sessions. 10% of Malaysian respondents said they employ such practices regularly and attested to the influence of these rituals on the outcomes of their sessions. It is worth noting that in Indonesia, as opposed to Nigeria and Malaysia, traders who use trading rituals devised them by themselves instead of adopting fellow traders’ experiences.
When asked about the influence of telling signs related to social and political events on market movements, most traders from all three focus countries said they don’t consider it significant. Given that, it is only natural that the survey participants pay little attention to alleged market trend indicators like the colour of European Central Bank’s ex-president Mario Draghi’s tie.
A modern approach to trading insights
While the respondents’ reliance on lucky charms and signs as a trustworthy source of information amounted to less than 20% for all three countries, traders showed a strong preference for obtaining trading signals from outside. Many have a mentor and take part in a traders’ community, while others rely on modern tools for trading insights. For example, a number of Indonesian survey participants said they fall back on OctaTrader, Octa‘s proprietary trading platform, for expert predictions and analytical research. OctaTrader offers its clients an analytical hub called Space. Seamlessly integrated into the OctaTrader application, Space has the form of a customised feed consisting of timely and actionable curated posts filtered by tradable assets, trading style, or other user-defined criteria. Space is designed to deliver decision-making support and contains a wealth of educational content, making trading more data-driven and efficient.
Favourite days of the week
As experienced traders know, successfully navigating the ebbs and flows of financial markets and knowing when to act and when to keep still is instrumental in achieving consistent gains. Given that, scheduling trading sessions for particular days of the week seems beneficial to most respondents. About half of the survey participants believe Wednesday and Thursday are the most favourable days for trading. This strong preference has a logical rationale behind it. According to Kar Yong Ang, Octa Broker financial market analyst, Wednesday is when the US Federal Reserve announces its interest rate decision, which tends to send ripples throughout the global financial market. In the same vein, Thursday is considered a favourable trading day as it often follows the dynamics established on Wednesday. As such, it seems more predictable than other days of the week.
However, this opinion is not uniform. For example, one respondent declared he tends to be especially successful on Mondays and Fridays and will firmly stick to these days no matter what, disregarding any evidence to the contrary.
To each their own
When asked about their personal trading rituals, traditions, and lucky signs, some respondents gave remarkable and unorthodox answers. Here are some of the things that, according to traders’ beliefs, influence good or bad luck in trading:
- letting their cat sleep on the desk undisturbed
- sensing the right ear buzzing or feeling an itch in the right palm before or during the session is a sign of the oncoming good fortune
- relaxing and brewing coffee before the session positively impacts the outcomes
- bathing with bath soap while repeating positive affirmations helps improve trading results
- using nutmeg as a lucky charm
- practising feng shui and using essential oils to clear the mind. It brings calm and leads to abundance.
Although some exotic rituals exist among traders, the vast majority put their faith in skill and knowledge rather than luck. As one Nigerian survey participant put it, ‘I don’t believe in any rituals, traditions, or stuff like that. I believe in my strategies and strict discipline.’
