Shipments and Supply of Sheet Products through December 2014
Written by Peter Wright
Last month we began to report on domestic mill shipments and total supply to the market in one single report to be able to compare side by side demand and the degree to which imports have absorbed that demand. Sources are the American Iron and Steel Institute and the Department of Commerce with analysis by SMU. This month we have continued to try to improve the comprehensive view.
Table 1 shows both supply and mill shipments, (shipments includes exports) side by side as a three month average for the periods Q4 2014 compared to Q4 2013.
