Steel prices set to rise further on coking coal costs, demand revival
Steel prices are set to rise further, driven by costly coking coal and improving demand. Planned shutdowns at major mills and tight supplies are also supporting the increase. Higher prices may help mills recover squeezed margins, but infrastructure, construction and auto companies will face higher input costs. If your business uses steel, keep an eye on these cost changes.
Key Statutory Highlights
