About 165 million USD will fund a vacuum tank degasser and advanced slab caster over three years, enabling JSW US to produce 12-inch slabs and reduce imports from Brazil and other countries. Baytown’s plate and pipe mill is also undergoing a 110 million USD upgrade, scheduled for October 2026.

Next week, the HRC maintenance impact is expected at 23,100 mt, down 40,000 mt WoW. Overall HRC production is expected to edge up slightly. Demand side, current demand showed off-season characteristics, with the market dominated by low-price transactions. Cost side, the 9th round of coke price increases is about to be implemented, and cost-side support has not collapsed yet, but further upward momentum is limited. Looking ahead, short-term fundamentals of sheets & plates are weak, lacking bullish drivers. Focus remains on the cost side, whether from reality or expectations-driven sentiment fluctuations. Overall, sheets & plates are still consolidating in the near term.
