Macroeconomic factors and their effect on final prices (and pig nod foundry charge iron) are often undervalued next to closer surrounding forces inside industrial branch. There was applied evaluative partial PEST analysis and three factors considered as important were highlighted and closely observed: Ukrainian civil war conflict, Czech central bank (CNB) currency interventions and quantitative easing. Significant timeline dates on 2012 - 2015 pig iron production price trend line were pointed and discussed. Necessary statistical calculations as correlations were provided. Kind advice and data of industrial partner were utilized. Results are presented and conclusions are proposed.
