Steel Sheet Quarterly 2010 Jan

Alongside an end to destocking in some markets, economic stimulus measures successfully translated into improved global sheet consumption through the first three quarters of 2009. Now concluded, global sheet demand in 2009 is estimated at 327m tonnes.

With lingering concerns over the robustness of economic revival, global demand growth recovery faltered in Q4 2009. Though some regions, including the USA and Europe, saw further quarter-on-quarter increases in apparent consumption in this period, China did not.

Global sheet consumption levels remained around 13% below pre-crisis levels in Q4 2009, much more so in developed economies. China is the clear exception: though showing some weakness in the fourth quarter, consumption was still around 120% higher than the average quarterly levels seen in the first half of 2008.

 

Steel Sheet Quarterly


The Steel Sheet Quarterly presents historical data and five year forecasts of production, consumption, trade and prices for hot-rolled, cold-rolled and galvanised steel sheet.

 

The report presents a global assessment, as well as detailed analysis, by separate chapters, of all key steel sheet market regions of the world.

 

Price forecasts, updated each month

Each month we send you quarterly steel sheet prices for the 12 months ahead. This covers prices in the following markets:

·         US domestic,

·         German domestic,

·         Far East import and Chinese domestic.

The prices are accompanied by analysis of major developments during the past month and the assumptions that underpin the updated forecasts.

 

Webcasts

The service includes a bound report each quarter, containing a summary, text, analysis-by-charts, statistics and a macro outlook.

 

For each edition you can access a pre-recorded webcast, downloadable from the CRU extranet, containing slides and commentary that summarise the key points of the forecast.
