New SMU Research: Hot Rolled Coil Imports with Product Detail
Written by Tim Triplett
Premium subscribers to Steel Market Update receive reports on imports with macro data broken down by product on the national level. SMU also provides reports that detail the import tonnage received by district of entry and source nation. This new report from SMU takes the analysis even further.
Using U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) data, SMU takes the tonnage that arrives in each district monthly and year-to-date and breaks it down into sheet and strip, and whether it was in coil or leveled. Then it separates three thickness ranges, it identifies how much was P&O, how much was high strength and how much had patterns in relief.
