FREE WEBINAR: Impact of coronavirus on steel supply chain, near-term market trends

Join Fastmarkets’ free webinar on how the steel supply chain in Asia has responded to the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak, and what the next moves could be for the steel industry and its upstream raw materials.

The coronavirus pandemic has hit the steel supply chain in Asia, with prices along the chain becoming increasingly volatile in the past two months. The extensive lockdown measures in key steel raw-materials providers, such as India and South Africa, have triggered further uncertainty around the market trend.
