The Steel Index publishes 2 daily reference prices for European HRC and 21 weekly prices for a wide range of steel products in the USA, Northern & Southern Europe, Turkey and Asia.
Physical markets Steel prices have become volatile and unpredictable over recent years, making planning increasingly difficult and margin management a headache. More and more industry participants have realised that index-based pricing offers a sustainable mechanism better suited to the challenges of today's market conditions.
