The information in the tables, charts and commentaries have been calculated from respondents who we consider provide

accurate intelligence on the relevant steel markets. We make our best endeavours to be assured that the information is

correct and that our analysis is reliable.

Our predictions are based on a wide experience of steel consumption patterns. However, steel prices can be influenced by

a number of factors. These include currency exchange rates, raw material costs, trade regulations including import

safeguard measures, anti-dumping actions and other government interference in normal trade patterns. More than one

third of all steel produced is sold outside the country of manufacture. Accordingly, changes in market conditions in one

country can impact on pricing in other parts of the world. Consequently, these forecasts should be used only as a guide to

future tendencies. MEPS (INTERNATIONAL) LTD cannot be made liable for any loss resulting from the use of these price

forecasts however it may arise (see license Terms and Conditions)
