International Steel Market Roundup-August 2004

摘要

This article has been extracted from the July issue of MEPS International Steel Review US mill transaction prices continue to climb and further hikes cannot be ruled-out since several producers are planning melting and rolling mill outages to repair, replace and upgrade equipment during the Summer. ISG still trails in the market on price but the company is expected to put on a 20 per US dollars ton rise very soon. Imports are available at prices that in general are slightly below domestic ones.
