Nov 3 - Spanish steelmaker Acerinox on Friday reported a halving in third quarter net profit, pointing to a shrinking world steel market which it said is unlikely to recover before 2024.Softer demand in Europe this year due to economic uncertainty and higher interest rates has weighed on steelmakers' earnings, which had hit record levels in 2021 and 2022.

"When there is little visibility, buyers always react by reducing inventories, that's why the second half of the year is weaker than the first," CEO Bernardo Velazquez said in an interview with Reuters. Apparent consumption in the year through September decreased 26% in Europe, with the United States following a similar trend until August, the company said.

" will keep the current stocks levels or they will try to lower them a little more as consumption is not expected to increase until the end of the year," Velazquez added, after the company said inventories in the United States and Europe had normalised.
