HRC Steel futures are steady as industry participants uncertain of price outlook. |
||
|
After a record rally in 2021, HRC Steel futures have stabilized in recent weeks. However, a recent survey by Steel Market Update shows that steel buyers are largely uncertain on future price direction. Half of the survey participants are predicting continued price gains; the other half predicts price losses. Bullish buyers cite demand, outages and the infrastructure bills for potential price gains. Bearish buyers cite lower automotive production, higher import volumes and new production capacity for potential price losses. (11/19/2021) |
