The Port of Los Angeles is a key import hub, due to its geographic proximity to Asia, including major steel-producing nations such as South Korea, Japan and China.\nThe West Coast HRC market is also more sensitive to trade policies due to its exposure to steel imports. Due to the evolving nature of the trading relationships between the US and its allies, this is a good opportunity for Fastmarkets to expand our coverage on the intersection of policy and prices.\nThis price launch will expand the coverage of the US HRC market, complementing existing Fastmarkets’ HRC product offerings in the Midwest and South. The new West Coast index will serve as a reference point for HRC market participants, factoring in key market distinctions in the region compared to its counterparts.\nThe specifications are as follows:Steel hot-rolled coil index, delivered Los Angeles, $/cwtQuality: ASTM A1011 Commercial Steel and corresponding grades. 0.09-0.38in thick x 48-72in wideQuantity: Min 50 short tonsLocation: delivered Los Angeles, Western region states as defined by the US Census Bureau, excluding Alaska and HawaiiUnit: USD per hundredweightPublication: Weekly, Tuesday 4-5pm ETNotes: Standard packaging, raw materials surcharges included. Payment terms are typical commercial practice in the HRC market. Transactions that are conducted on different payment or credit terms will be adjusted back to the base specifications, taking into account discounts and standard commercial terms.\nThese prices will be part of the Fastmarkets steel package.\nThe consultation period for this proposed launch starts from Friday October 3, and will end on Friday October 31. The launch will take place, subject to market feedback, on Tuesday November 11.\nFastmarkets’ index methodology screens outliers and applies a quantity-weighted model to ensure that the steel hot-rolled coil index, delivered Los Angeles, is the most robust in the industry. Fastmarkets has no financial interest in the level or direction of the index.\nTo provide feedback on these price assessments, or if you would like to provide price information by becoming a data submitter to these prices, please contact Alesha Alkaff by email at pricing@fastmarkets.com.
