CRU’s Steelmaking Raw Materials Monitor, published on Wednesday 15th May 2013, reports that all raw materials prices have deteriorated over the last month with iron ore prices, for instance, at a 6 month low. CRU’s Senior Consultant Laura Brooks writes “the coking coal and coke markets continue to be plagued by oversupply, while iron ore’s inescapable exposure to the persistent malaise in China’s steel sector has resulted in a deep-rooted mood of uncertainty in this market.”
