CRU’s Global Flat Products Price Indicator (CRUspi Flats) stands at 210.9 in April 2026, up 3.0% m/m. The Middle East conflict continues to be the principal factor in rising prices, as its impact is now being felt throughout the supply chain. Coated sheet prices have borne the larger brunt of the impact. This is despite there being no evidence of a broad-based demand recovery across the globe.
