For buyers & sellers: Navigate ArcelorMittal hikes, China FOB jump, port congestion & July quota cliff. Download Report.
Procurement Managers, This Report Helps You Solve:
- How to push back against mill Q3 offers that are rising sharply while your inventories are still high — and where the real workable price levels sit.
- How to keep your supply chain reliable when Northern Europe’s largest ports are so congested that one major gateway is running over 10% below the European reliability baseline.
- How to decide between booking imported HRC and securing domestic European supply, as Chinese export prices jump and CBAM carbon costs add a permanent layer to your landed cost.
Sales Managers, This Report Helps You Solve:
- Where the strongest buyer urgency is building — in the UK, panic buying triggered by the 60% quota cut is pushing prices sharply higher across rebar, merchant bars, and sections.
- How to adjust your European offers when China’s HRC export index surges week-on-week, narrowing the gap between landed import costs and domestic mill targets.
- Which Mediterranean and alternative North European ports can deliver more reliably for your customers, while Hamburg remains structurally overloaded and subject to extended delays.
The Core Value of This Report :
EU quotas are being slashed by 47% from July 1, ArcelorMittal is holding firm on CRC/HDG price increases, and Chinese export offers are surging just as port congestion peaks — this means a narrowing window for procurement managers to lock in Q3 volumes at workable prices and a critical moment for sales managers to secure long-term contracts before the new trade regime takes effect.
This weekly report includes data and analysis comparing this week’s figures to the previous week’s report, so you can see exactly how prices, policies, and risks have moved in the last seven days.
