    Written by Brett Linton

    Wheeling-Nippon Steel made downward revisions to their galvanized coating extras on Tuesday, with new extras going into effect immediately.

    Last week, Steel Dynamics and NLMK USA also revised their galvanized coating extras, with their new prices going into effect in August 2022. SMU provides an updated comparison of mill galvanized coating extras here in the Resources section of our website, comparing G30, G60 and G90 coating weights between 10 US mills. Detailed extras by individual mill are also available via the right-side navigation menu on that page.

    SMU has analyzed the old and new extras below. Select Wheeling-Nippon extras decreased between 3-20%, with an average decrease of 13%. Wheeling-Nippon extras were previously revised in April 2022.

    CRU: Global finished steel prices diverge, US the rare bright spot

    CRU: Global finished steel prices have diverged in August, with longs softening while sheet and plate firmed in most regions. Weak construction demand persisted across most longs markets, with the US the notable exception. Higher sheet prices were driven by tightening supply in the US and reduced import attractiveness in Europe, even as APAC sheet prices declined. Plate prices were mostly firmer across APAC, stable to down in Europe, and continued climbing in the US.
