Report summary
Having enjoyed a stellar run since the second half of 2017, in November 2018 steel prices started to fall, compressing steelmakers' margins to uncomfortable levels.

We looked at a few themes that will shape 2019, including China economic rebalancing, trade wars, India capacity growth, and green steel.
