Cold Rolled Coil Prices: During the Quarter Ending December 2023

In Q4 2023, the North American Cold Rolled Coil market experienced a downturn due to various global macroeconomic factors. Early in October, prices remained stable in the United States amidst global pressures such as rising inflation and concerns about China's construction industry. However, Cleveland Cliffs' price hike announcement, combined with reduced production due to a UAW strike and increasing input costs, led to subsequent price increases. Despite promising downstream construction and infrastructure demand, global stimulus measures and interest rate hikes in the USA contributed to rising prices.
