Steel market development favors steel distribution in particular
Strong price increases despite a softer economic growth due to a favorable supply and demand ratio
- Structural change due to the fact that steel prices are now driven primarily by raw material costs
- Higher discipline on the producer side due to consolidation- High capacity utilization- Low stock levels and low import volumes
Further price increases already announced for the upcoming months
Strong steel market development expected to continue
