The World Steel Dynamics’ reports make use of the following:

• A unique and extensive database – which includes steel pricing series for many products and countries; steel demand trends and activity levels in steel-consuming industries; capacity changes for steelmaking, blast furnace, cokemaking, steel scrap substitute and selected finishing mills; effective steelmaking capacity versus nameplate capacity; detailed production costs by process for cokemaking, blast furnaces, steelmaking, casting, hot-rolled band, cold-rolled coil and wire rod; steel company profit, balance sheets and profits forecasts; and a host of other items.

• Unprecedented access to key players in the steel industry the world over – which provides us with ongoing crosschecks on critical developments.

• Special analytical methods – which seek to permit us to better understand the factors that may cause shifts in the “pricing power” of the steel mills (relative to their competitors, customers and suppliers).
