Despite the pandemic’s impact now easing on the steel industry, domestic and global steel markets continue to face uncertainty and challenges.

CRU’s analysts and industry experts will discuss the challenges, opportunities and outlook for North American steel – focusing on steel prices and the pursuit of net zero.
