MEPS International Steel Market Roundup
Jan. 13, 2005 - According to MEPS (International) Ltd., U.S. market activity for Flat Products is flat. The mills, faced with weak fourth quarter order books, started seasonal maintenance shutdowns in November that have continued through this month. With high customer inventories, mill transaction prices continue to slip. MEPS has received unconfirmed reports that surcharges are not being universally applied, especially to large volume purchasers. Steel market conditions are expected to improve in the first quarter, and AK Steel Corp. has already announced a $US50 per ton hike. Canadian market activity continues to be subdued, with inventory levels apparently more tailored to present-day demand than those in the US.
