CRU’s Steel Monitor, published on Wednesday 17th April 2013, reports that global finished steel prices have weakened once more. CRU Principal Consultant John Kovacs writes “After last month’s fall in finished steel prices, the pace of decline has accelerated this month, with the market softening as a result of weaker sentiment, oversupply and import competition.”
