2009 January Issue
2008: a year of two halves


Amid signs that steel sheet prices were entering a phase of correction, we warned in the last Steel Sheet Quarterly that the world was facing broad-based demand weakness.  Since then, the speed and severity with which the global financial crisis has impacted the real economy, industrial activity and therefore steel sheet demand has intensified to the extent that we have seen a wholesale collapse in prices. 

Steel Sheet Quarterly Industry and Market Outlook


Comprehensive coverage

CRU's Steel Sheet Quarterly Report analyses recent trends in market fundamentals and presents five year forecasts of steel sheet production, consumption, stocks and prices.

The Steel Sheet Quarterly Report provides analysis in separate chapters for each major region of the steel sheet market, covering North America, Europe, East & South East Asia, the CIS, Latin America and India, the Middle East, Australia and Africa.

Each report also contains detailed historical and forecast statistics on production, consumption, trade and prices for hot-rolled, cold rolled and galvanised coil and sheet.

A subscription to CRU Steel Sheet Quarterly also included monthly updates of steel sheet price forecasts. Updated price forecasts are supplied, in Excel format, for the following markets:

  • US domestic (Midwest)
  • German domestic
  • Far East import
  • Chinese domestic

These monthly updated forecasts will focus on near term price forecasts and will be presented for the next year, on a quarterly basis.  Each monthly update of CRU price forecasts will be supplied with a succinct summary of:

  • key assumptions that underpinned the previously published forecasts
  • major developments during the past month
  • fundamental assumptions that underpin the updated forecasts

A PowerPoint presentation summarising the key points of the forecast is sent to subscribers via email allowing you to update your colleagues on the latest market fundamentals in a clear and concise way.
