Final December Imports at 2.7 Million Tons
Written by John Packard
February 9, 2017
The U.S. Department of Commerce released the Final Census Data for foreign steel imports for the month of December 2016. We now have the 12-month moving average (12MMA) for calendar year 2016 as well as the 3-month moving average for the last 3 months (4Q) 2016. The January numbers are based on license data which can vary from the final numbers so we refer to it as “trending.”
We are not going to spend a lot of time on the table below because we thought our readers would be interested in comparing the analysis we do for our Premium members with the report we do for those who get our Executive level newsletter. If you have any questions about either product please do not hesitate to contact us at: info@SteelMarketUpdate.com
