May US long products imports decline heavily from April levels
US long products import licenses declined from a peak of 462,000 short tons in April to 238,000 short tons in May. About 65% of this decline is due to Turkey, which did not apply for any rebar or wire rod import licenses in May (nor did it in March). In comparison, Turkey’s rebar licenses were 105,000 short tons in April while wire rod licenses were about 39,000 short tons.
