European Metal Recycling resumed phased operations at its scrap shredder in Camden, New Jersey, after a court overturned the temporary suspension of its licence.

Taiwan's cold-rolled steel imports reached 102,000 tonnes in June, with Chinese products accounting for 98,000 tonnes. Market participants estimate that 1B grade steel made up at least 80% of these shipments. Although anti-dumping concerns deter buyers from standard CQ1 materials, transactions concentrate heavily on 1B grade instead. Domestic consumption in China is weak because of sluggish home appliance and automotive manufacturing. Although China's new energy vehicle exports rose by 65% to 5.1 million units in the first half of 2026, steel mills reported lower-than-expected cold-rolled order volumes. Exporters report stagnant international activity, noting a prolonged absence of cold-rolled export deals amid frozen global inquiries.

The USDOC determined that South Korean exporters did not sell cold-rolled steel flat products below normal value during the September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024 review period. Hyundai Steel, POSCO, and POSCO International received a 0.00% margin. Ameri-Source Korea, Hanawell, and KG Dongbu Steel received a 2.28% margin. The cash deposit rate for all other producers remains 20.33%. The final findings took effect on July 13, 2026.
