NEW YORK (Scrap Register): A quieter end to the week in what has been a brutal month for US steel producers, with HR coil spot prices falling over 8% over the past 4 weeks.

As per The Steel Index, the benchmark prices closed on Thursday at $554 a short ton, its lowest level since November 2010, as an oversupply of steel continues to circulate in the marketplace.

Some capacity closures were announced this week though this may only partially reduce the imbalance, with imports and supply chain inventories still of concern.

Little buying activity to note as the week progressed-for now buyers sit tight, well stocked.
