German steelmaker Thyssenkrupp has officially reduced its hot metal production at the Duisburg plant after persistently low water levels on the River Rhine severely disrupted raw material supply chains. The logistical constraints forced the company to pull its push-barge fleet out of service and rely on externally chartered vessels with lower drafts, severely limiting the volume of incoming bulk materials. Although specific tonnage curtailments were not disclosed, market sources indicate the raw material shortage has fueled bullish sentiment, pushing domestic hot-rolled coil (HRC) prices in Northwest Europe up by approximately EUR20 per tonne to EUR710 per tonne ex-works.

Komisi Perdagangan Internasional AS telah membuka penyelidikan menyusul petisi dari produsen AS yang menuduh barang-barang tersebut dijual di bawah nilai wajar dan disubsidi, sehingga menimbulkan kerugian material bagi industri dalam negeri; penyelidikan mencakup kode HS 7305.31.60, 7306.11.00, 7306.40.50 (dan mungkin 7306.40.10), dengan putusan awal diperkirakan pada akhir Agustus dan temuan diserahkan ke Departemen Perdagangan pada awal September, sebagai bagian dari gelombang tindakan pertahanan perdagangan yang lebih luas di AS, UE, Inggris, India, dan EAEU seiring pemerintah-pemerintah bergerak melindungi industri baja domestik dari kelebihan pasokan.
