"Petrobras...has an expanding production base," he said.  "They've drilled a lot of new wells offshore in Brazil, and...their production is expanding strongly...so they get the double-whammy of high oil prices and more production."

"Brazil's been growing strongly in the last few years, so there's a lot of demand for steel," he explained.  "Gerdau's also got strong operations in North America, where they use a lot of scrap metal, so they're not as dependent on iron ... [whose] price has spiked up."
