Steel Prices in U.S. Soar into 2024

The U.S. is the premium market in demand and pricing for carbon steel. However, this premium status comes with its share of complexities.

In this video, we explore the reasons behind the stark contrast in pricing between the U.S. and other global regions, with U.S. prices soaring well above double the rates seen elsewhere. We break down the factors fueling this surge, from the resilience of the U.S. market compared to softer economies in Europe to the strategic production management of U.S. steel mills.

Gain insights into the role of capacity utilization rates, import trends, and the impact of raw material inflation on steel prices. Understand how a combination of low imports, restrained production, and market strategies led to a tightening in supply, setting the stage for the surge in steel prices observed in recent months.

Stay informed about the dynamics shaping steel prices and the possible implications for industries and consumers in the months ahead.

Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “objectives,” “goals,” “preliminary,” “range,” "believes," "expects," "may," "estimates," "will," "should," "plans," or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. The Company cautions that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may vary materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Among the factors that significantly impact our business are: the cyclicality of our business; the highly competitive, volatile, and fragmented metals industry in which we operate; fluctuating metal prices; our substantial indebtedness and the covenants in instruments governing such indebtedness; the integration of acquired operations; regulatory and other operational risks associated with our operations located inside and outside of the United States; impacts and implications of adverse health events, including the COVID-19 pandemic; work stoppages; obligations under certain employee retirement benefit plans; the ownership of a majority of our equity securities by a single investor group; currency fluctuations; and consolidation in the metals industry. Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various factors, including those set forth above and those set forth under "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
