Among these 8 price indices, the main ones used for carbon steel are international (global), plate, long rod, North American, European, and Asian indices, as well as indices for stainless steel and pig iron scrap prices.
The formation of the international (global) steel price index is to collect the market transaction prices of five steel products (hot-rolled coil, cold-rolled coil, hot-dip galvanized sheet, deformed steel, and profiles) from 39 steel markets in the Midwest of the United States, Germany, and southern China. Then, the international (global) steel price index is obtained by weighting the consumption shares of these five steel products in the North American, Western European, and Asian markets, The “CRUspi” index is based on the weighted average price of April 1994 and is set at 100, published weekly.
