Demand for steel dropped at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, but then it quickly skyrocketed. At one point, steel prices were 300% above their pre-pandemic levels at more than $1,900 per ton. Before the pandemic, steel priced betweenSteel's high price tag hasn't really dropped all that much, and some worry it's a bubble that's about to burst.

Steel is essential, why bubble?

Shouldn’t the headline read “Most people are hoping this bubble is about to burst which would make almost everything you buy cheaper” ?

oil is essential too, ladies. take gas out of the equation, anyone know what the rest of that barrel of oil does for every facet of the economy?

Better buying CLF and NUE than C and BAC

The production of steel can't be done by windmills or solar panels. Industry Regulation & unions chased steel production overseas. Woke Government policies are to blame. letsgobrandon

In 2020, Iron and Steel was the 10th most traded product globally and worth around $335B. The main exporter was China, with $33.8B exported mainly to South Korea and Vietnam. Source:

Trump era tariffs protecting a stagnant industry.

when Trump had tariffs on China it was around .50/lb, Under Biden it is around the $1.00/lb range… Like everything under Biden, its doubled the cost, yet they try and sell you on inflation being under double digit percentages.. like everything else under Biden, is a lie.

Stop all mining in the USA must buy all supplies from CHINA. It is Joe Biden's plan. Bring in the Fentanyl and the Mexican Cartels Joe. Make deals with Criminals Joe. LAPTOP 💻 Sammy Cash Twitter files PROVIDE PROOF 🧾🧾🧾🧾🧾 so much proof. Macarthey is President now. Oppsy

Iogic with I al disruptions, but, they need lot of arms an warfare this year, so perhaps a conversion for steel factories but no collapse. If there shall be one it are the future markets only.

Well half the words steel comes from China. If they don’t have the energy to make it price probably going to stay high.

WhiteHouseCEA SecRaimondo POTUS WHCOS It’s time to remove Steel and aluminum tariffs on China….it’s effecting our ROI on our infrastructure & construction projects ….we need costs to be lower to get out of the mild recession ….& encourage investment in housing markets

Why does that matter if manufacturing is driven away from the US?

We probably need govt to 'solve' this problem🙄

The YouTube production at needs a fat bonus this December. They have been churning out great amazing content. Enough quality to make it onto Netflix style of programming, all for YouTube. Great job guys. The topics are amazing. The video production and editing is A+

Scrounging for supplies? Maybe scrounge for alternative materials/plastics/rubber.for building.Nothingbeats steel.

CNBC are you even trying Chiba makes almost half the worlds steel and they have been locked down.

About ? lol

Huh?!?!? A simple 5 year chart shows it’s “now down” form 2020…. deflation

Steel is essential, however, we need to invest more in material recycling technologies, there’s lots of plastic scattered around polluting our planet. If we already produced it, recycle it, as it can be used to build road surfaces and even as construction material for housing.

11 El día que las plantes, las harás crecer, y harás que su simiente brote de mañana; pero la cosecha será arrebatada en el día de la angustia, y del dolor desesperado.

Recycle... recycle recycle... if it's everywhere then there is tons and tons of it available in every junk yard, ship yard.. and mechanical/electrical parts waste yard... recycle..... and ship containers... recycle

Soon it is gonna burst because of inflation curve started bending down.

If steel and housing are among the things in a bubble, that’s a big part driving inflation numbers, as well as fuel. EV sales, wind and solar are going to take a huge bite out of fossil fuel demand. If these bubbles burst, won’t that pretty much take the bite out of inflation?

In a nutshell China was the only one to capitalize on the sudden increase of demand as they didn't slow or shut down their steel industries. They were ready to supply once the markets opened up again and demand risen with higher prices and higher profits.
