Print[Ferro-Alloys.com]Japan Iron and Steel Federation announced that Japan's crude steel output in May 2021 rose by 42% YoY, climbing for a third consecutive month, as industry demand picked up from a coronavirus related slump. Japanese steel output in May 2020 had plunged by 32% YoY as the pandemic collapsed demand, forcing steelmakers to suspend some of their blast furnaces. JISF said "The sharp rise reflected a recovery in demand at home and abroad, as well as restarts of some blast furnaces that had been suspended. Demand from manufacturers, including automakers and industry machinery makers, has been steadily picking up.”
