Report summary
During Jan-May 2024, global steel production remained flat compared to the previous year. China's weak construction market and dull demand in the West were offset by exceptional growth in India, the Middle East, and Turkey, which helped maintain overall production levels. The demand sluggishness caused global steel prices in June to decline by 1-5% month-on-month. Key points to explore in our report: • Is there any revival in sight for Chinese steel demand? What will the government’s stance be towards steel production restrictions? • Will India be able to sustain the demand rally? • What is the forecast for steel demand in the EU and US? • How will global dynamics impact steel prices and margins? Please read our report to get a complete picture of the future of steel prices and market dynamics.
