Description: SLX Steel December 22, 2025

The VanEck Steel ETF (NYSE ARCA: SLX) allocates at least 80 % of its net assets to common stocks and depositary receipts of companies that operate in the steel industry. Its portfolio can include small- and mid-cap firms as well as issuers from foreign and emerging-market economies, and it is permitted to concentrate heavily in the steel sector, making it a non-diversified fund.

Key industry drivers that shape SLX’s performance include (1) global steel demand, which is closely tied to construction activity and automotive production; (2) the price of iron ore and coking coal, the primary inputs whose spot-price indices have shown a 12-month volatility band of roughly ±15 % as of Q3 2024; and (3) capacity utilization rates in major steel-producing regions-China’s utilization hovered around 78 % in 2024, while Europe’s averaged 71 %, indicating room for supply-side tightening that can boost margins for higher-quality producers.
