Steel Price improves as global output declines during January-May period

Steel Price extends the previous week’s recovery towards 4,300 Chinese yuan (CNH), around 4,280 CNH heading into Tuesday’s European session.

The metal’s latest gains could be linked to the market’s cautious optimism, as well as the softer US dollar. However, receding fears of oversupply appear the top reason for the Steel Price to portray the quarter-end positioning.

That said, the Scrap Monster quotes the World Steel Association (worldsteel) figures to mention the reduction in the global steel output during the January-May period. That said, the news states that the steel output by the 64 reporting countries dropped to 791.8 million tonnes during the initial five months of 2022.
