All
price and market data is researched by MEPS staff and our local
correspondents. 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. The econometric models we have constructed take
into account raw material costs, macro-economic factors, past price
trends and the dynamics of the market. However,
steel prices can be influenced by a number of other factors. These
include currency exchange rates, 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
