US domestic sheet prices continued to trend higher, with spot prices now high enough for imports to become attractive. Price gains have been most notable for HDG coils, partly due to the finalization of a recent AD/CVD trade case across multiple exporting countries. Meanwhile, imports of longs products trended lower in November as tariffs continued to limit import volumes into the US.
