Global Trade of Hot Rolled Coil Through Q2 2017
Written by Peter Wright
We are continuing our analysis to quantify the players in the global trade of both hot rolled coil (HRC) and cold rolled coil (CRC). We now have data for the second quarter of this year. This information is sourced quarterly from the Iron and Steel Statistics Bureau in the UK. It takes about 11 weeks after the close of a quarter before all the countries have submitted their information. However, even if rather late, we think the history does explain where we are now and shines a light on the relative position of the U.S. in the global picture.
This update covers the global trade of HRC through Q2 2017.
