Shipments and Supply of Sheet Products through April
Written by Peter Wright
This report summarizes total steel supply from 2003 through April 2017 and year-on-year changes. It then compares domestic mill shipments with total supply to the market. It quantifies market direction by product and enables a side-by-side comparison of the degree to which imports have absorbed demand. Sources are the American Iron and Steel Institute and the Department of Commerce with analysis by SMU.
Table 1 describes both apparent supply and mill shipments (including exports) of sheet products side by side as three-month moving averages (3MMA) through April for both 2016 and 2017.
