The article below is normally reserved for our Premium members, but we thought our Executive members would appreciate seeing the MSCI data from a different viewpoint with more analysis than what they normally see from us.
Based on Steel Market Update (SMU) analysis of the recently released MSCI service center inventory and shipment data, total service center carbon steel shipments decreased by 83,900 tons in December to 2.644 million tons. Shipping days at 22, were up by two from November. On a tons per day basis (t/d) shipments decreased from 136,400 tons in November to 120,200 tons in December.
