A nickel mine of BHP Billiton in Australia

It was not a good year so far for Hans-Joachim Welsch. Of course, even the boss says the Rogesa Roheisengesellschaft Saar Dillingen, like all German industrialists on the current recovery, but more as a private citizen. Even if Welsch hut runs under full load, the boom is in the best of Saarlanders subdued.
About the blast furnaces, from the head of one had a beautiful view over the Natural Park Saar-Hunsrück to nearby France, hangs heavy weather. Since the beginning, the prices of key raw materials iron ore and coal have more than doubled. The hut Welsch hits the mark, because these precursors along with energy costs as the - also becoming more expensive - current account for 80 percent of the cost.
The problems is not alone Rogesa. "Raw material prices and rising concern terminal, almost all sectors of the German economy," says Joachim Rotering, commodity expert at consulting firm Booz & Company.
