    US Steel Adjusts Galvanized and Galvalume Coating Extras Lower

    Written by Brett Linton

    US Steel made downward revisions to their galvanized and Galvalume coating extras on Monday, with new extras going into effect Sept. 4, 2022.

    Earlier this month, Steel Dynamics, NLMK USA, and Wheeling-Nippon also revised their galvanized coating extras. SMU provides an updated comparison of mill galvanized coating extras in the Resources section of our website, comparing G30, G60 and G90 coating weights between ten US mills. Detailed extras by individual mill are also available via the right-side navigation menu on that page. A history of US Steel Galvalume extras can be seen here on our website.

    SMU has analyzed the old and new galvanized extras below. Select US Steel extras decreased between 7-10%, with an average decrease of 9%. USS extras were previously revised in May 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.
