According to the report released by the World Steel Association, the US economy staged a strong recovery after the pandemic as the Federal Reserve sharply raised interest rates to address inflation. Economic growth in the US is expected to be limited by recessionary pressures in 2023-2024. Also, investors should be wary of the spillover effects of the recent Silicon Valley Bank bankruptcy. Steel demand in the US is expected to grow by 1.3% in 2023 and 2.5% in 2024, after falling by 2.6% in 2022.

8.7 SMM Global Steel Daily Report

On August 7 China's steel export prices were mostly steady with flat products extending gains. Some flat-product export prices rose 1 USD/tonne day on day, with HRC transactions at 482-485 USD/tonne; Chinese futures rose for successive sessions in the second half of the week and export FOB prices followed, but traders reported limited actual business after the increase, while at the mill end some traders were buying against earlier orders. Billet export FOB prices were steady, with Jiangyin port offers at 450-455 USD/tonne; offers are largely referenced to the rebar futures basis, overseas enquiries are limited and competition is fierce, with only some exporters covering earlier short billet positions. Rebar export offers at Tianjin port were steady with transactions at 474-480 USD/tonne, as overseas enquiries were unremarkable, wait-and-see sentiment prevailed and domestic traders found exporting difficult.
