CSI: Has the steel export mix changed forever?

CSI: Has the steel export mix changed forever? (Feb. 1, 2018)

Sample files

China’s high and rapidly growing export volumes used to be the single most important factor in global steel pricing but 2017 saw a sharp reversal, opening up markets to greater competition.

A closer look at the data however shows not all products and regions are seeing decline and in this issue we look in more detail at how China’s steel export flows actually changed.

How these flows change is likely to have a significant impact on both domestic and overseas markets and looking at how different products compare is essential to understand how differing markets will be impacted.

The question now is, how have Chinese exports been transformed and will the same trends hold?
