Cliffs being selective with auto clients on strength in sector

With strength in the sector and customers needing the product it produces, Cleveland-Cliffs’ chief executive says the company will be more selective with the automotive customers it chooses to serve.

While overall steel shipments were down in the first quarter, Cliffs execs said automotive shipments exceeded Q4 levels, helping to offset weaker demand from service centers.
