Cold-rolled coil (CRC) prices in Northwest Europe are facing significant pressure. As the summer ends, the market has seen a softening of coil prices, with CRC struggling to maintain its value compared to hot-rolled and galvanized coil.
This trend is influenced by various factors, including high energy costs and reduced demand from key sectors like automotive. The narrowing price gap between CRC and other coil types highlights the challenges faced by producers in the region.
