Notable Quotes 3
Asia is responsible for the majority of steel production and apparent demand at 69% and 65% of the global market, respectively.
Collectively, China and Japan's 136.2mn mtpa of excess production more than satisfied the rest of Asia's 85.6mn mt deficit in 2016.
As this influx of less expensive (and likely government-subsidized) steel makes its way ashore it has the effect of bloating steel inventories and expanding supply, which in turn pressures the domestic manufacturers' ability to sustain adequate levels of pricing above cost.
