In the first half of June, the benchmark steel price index in the Americas was 98.9 points, up 1.3% on a week-on-week basis (the increase converged), up 6.8% on a month-on-month basis (from drop to rise), down 18.4% on a month-on-month basis (the decrease converged), and down 19.4% on a year-on-year basis (the decrease converged).
ASTM A514 steel price rises sharply:
Although novel coronavirus pneumonia cases have exceeded 2 million in the United States, the ASTM A514 steel price has been overturned and rebounded, and the trend of V reversal is very obvious.
At present, the ex factory price of ASTM A514 steel of mainstream steel mills has risen to a relatively high level, which is higher than that at the end of last month.
Data shows that the domestic ASTM A514 steel price in the United States has reached a high in the past two months, and steel mills are trying to start a third round of increase, which leads to general optimism in the U.S. steel market.
