CRU’s US Midwest Steel Sheet price assessments are the most widely used in North America. In fact, more than 50% of direct mill shipments are priced against CRU.

If movements in the indices affect the prices you charge your customers, then you may want to consider taking a license to share our price assessments with them.

Seven key benefits of licensing CRU’s HRC, CRC and HDG weekly price assessments:

  1. Data sharing: If you have physical/financial contracts settled against ‘The CRU’, a license agreement will enable you to share the weekly prices with your counterparties via www.cruindices.com
  2. Cost effective: If you have a client base who would benefit from seeing CRU’s U.S. steel sheet prices every week a license fee offers excellent value for money. We do not charge a license fee for any of your clients who already subscribe to CRU.
  3. Competitive edge: We send an email with your company logo and personal message to your clients. This ensures that they receive the benefits of the license through your organization rather than one of your competitors.
  4. Speed and transparency: We can disseminate our U.S. steel sheet prices to your customers at the same time as we send them to you.
  5. Avoid copyright infringement: Only data providers, CRU Steel Sheet Products Monitor subscribers and license holders have access to the weekly prices. The unlicensed sharing of our prices is illegal.
  6. Charting tool: As part of the license we offer you and your customers access to our new charting area on cruindices.com. The tool includes historic US steel sheet data, the facility to chart a +/- variance, spreads on US HRC, CRC and HDG, and much more.
  7. Minimal administration: We handle the dissemination of the prices, logins and any other queries, so you don’t have to.

Licenses start from as little as US$3125 for 5 users. Data providers receive a 20% discount. For further details download our brochure or email us
