This webinar will move beyond headlines to assess whether current volatility in ferrous scrap and steel markets reflects real supply tightness or short-term sentiment, examine shifts in trade flows and sourcing strategies, evaluate pricing trends against physical market signals such as availability and inventories, and analyse the impact on procurement costs and delivery timelines.
Key Topics
· How geopolitical conflict is influencing global ferrous trade flows and steel demand cycles
· Current trends in scrap availability, price spreads and regional supply imbalances
· Disruptions in semi-finished steel trade (billets and slabs) and implications for rerolling markets
· Finished steel price volatility linked to energy costs, sanctions risk and freight escalation
· Changing sourcing strategies, including greater reliance on domestic scrap and alternative export destinations
· Impact on steel-intensive sectors such as construction, automotive and infrastructure
