Steel Price remains on the back foot for the third consecutive day as sellers attack the $600 threshold, near 4010 Chinese yuan per tonne at the latest, on Shanghai Futures Exchange (SFE) during Tuesday’s Asian session.

A record-high print of the US one-year inflation expectations, as per the NY Fed’s survey of one-year-ahead consumer inflation expectations, join chatters surrounding recession to drown the Steel Price.
