Bluescope Steel (ASX:BSL) has downgraded its earnings guidance after falling steel prices and a stronger Aussie dollar have left the company expecting to post a net loss for the second half of 2011.
The company says the stronger dollar has not only hurt steel exports, but also domestic commoditised steel sales.
In a statement to the ASX, the company said that overall, the Asian and North American businesses had performed in line with expectations at the time that guidance was provided in February.
BlueScope Steel booked a net loss of $49.2 million in the six months to December 31, 2010.
