Launch of two European domestic green long steel price assessments: pricing notice

Fastmarkets has launched price assessments for MB-STE-0926 green steel, differential to steel reinforcing bar (rebar) domestic, delivered Northern Europe, €/tonne and MB-STE-0925 green steel base price, reinforcing bar (rebar) domestic, delivered Northern Europe, inferred, €/tonne on Wednesday April 9.

The introduction of two new green longs prices will further enhance Fastmarkets’ global green steel coverage, providing a critical reference point for European steel producers and international suppliers aiming to sell green steel in Europe. 

The Northen European market, particularly Nordic countries, are key consumers of green steel in Europe, hence the new premium and the inferred price will be targeted at this region.

Fastmarkets’ green steel, differential to steel reinforcing bar (rebar) domestic, delivered Northern Europe will be assessed weekly against the established weekly steel reinforcing bar (rebar) domestic, delivered Northern Europe assessment.

The weekly inferred green steel base price, reinforcing bar (rebar) domestic, delivered Northern Europe will be calculated based on the weekly assessment of steel reinforcing bar (rebar) domestic, delivered Northern Europe, €/tonne and the green steel, differential to steel reinforcing bar (rebar) domestic, delivered Northern Europe.

The initial assessment will be published on Wednesday April 9.
