Service Center Reactions to Cold Rolled Dumping Suit
Written by John Packard
As expected, five U.S. steel mills banded together and filed an antidumping petition against cold rolled steel from: China, Russia, India, South Korea, Netherlands, Japan, United Kingdom and Brazil.
Reaction from steel buyers about the scope of the cold rolled suit ranged from relatively muted to surprised. Those who had a muted response expected that a suit was about to be announced and they are not concerned about pricing or inventory over the short term as there is plenty of inventory in the system to support short term needs.
