Notes and Steel Price Definitions

1) World steel prices are in US$/t. They describe average monthly global export fob prices.

2) Product definitions are as follows (for further detail, see harmonised system 6-digit codes listed below). For further clarifications on HS codes for commodity goods, visit U.N. trade statistics website.

  • HRC, wide strip unpickled hot-rolled sheet and coil <3 mm gauge.
  • CRC, cold-rolled sheet 0.5–1 mm thick.
  • HDG, hot-dip zinc galvanised coil [often also called GI, galvanised iron] width > 600 mm.
  • OCS, organic coated sheet with HDG substrate [also called PPGI or pre-painted galvanised iron].
  • Tinplate, under 0.5 mm gauge.
  • Rebar prices are for hot-rolled deformed reinforcing bar (excl rod).

3) Pricing data is compiled by Metals Consulting International (MCI). It originates from an analysis of national customs statistics of larger exporting countries. Figures cover the following 6-digit codes within the harmonised tariff schedule: Hot-rolled coil 720839, Cold-rolled sheet and coil 720917, HDG or galvanised iron 721049, OCS or PPGI 721070, tinplate 721012, reinforcing bar 721420.

4) Note that the latest price points (the last two months in particular) for each product may change, as more current customs declarations become available from international markets.

5) Final data point normally shows steel prices per tonne that are about 2 months old. This is because a short time delay is necessary for data collection.

6) Please contact us for costs of raw materials or for other product pricing data covering heavy plate, merchant bar, light sections, rod, drawn wire, carbon or stainless pipe and tube etc.


The Metals Price Cycle

Global steel prices typically move through peaks and troughs, in a so-called price cycle that typically lasts several years. Across this cycle, the price of steel can easily change by +/- 30% or more. Feel free to contact us for further perspectives about pricing trends; about the next price cycle or for related projections covering world metal prices or steelmaking raw material or manufacturing costs.
