Price Assessments

The growth in the use of independent assessments of steel prices has been particularly the case since 2004, reflecting the significant increase that has been observed in steel price volatility. In some markets, independent assessments of steel prices are now being used in:

  • Physical contracts
  • Variable contracts
  • As a reference point in determining surcharges
  • In the settlement of “Over The Counter” (OTC) derivative products

Our assessment of U.S. hot-rolled coil steel is used is CME Group’s, ‘U.S. Midwest Domestic Hot-Rolled Coil Steel Futures Contract’, which was launched in October 2008.
