Apparent Steel Supply Up in January
Written by Brett Linton
Apparent steel supply for January was 9,386,260 net tons, a 1.1 percent increase compared to the same month one year ago. Although steel imports were up and exports decreased over these periods, the decrease in domestic shipments negated any big changes in total apparent supply. The net trade balance between steel imports and exports was a surplus of 2,242,187 net tons in January, an increase of 45.6 percent from the same month last year.
