June & July Foreign Steel Imports
Written by John Packard
The U.S. Department of Commerce released Final Census Data for June as well as an update on July import license data earlier this week. Foreign steel imports came in at 2,821,894 net tons during the month of June. This is essentially unchanged from the prior month’s 2,876,358 net tons of imports.
July imports, based on licenses data which everyone has to remember can be somewhat suspect, is still showing imports as breaking through the 3.0 million ton mark and the data is suggesting imports could be as high as 3.2 million net tons.
