AI and reshoring demand support steel, but Chinese oversupply caps gains

AI infrastructure drives steel demand AI data centers need heavy structural steel for server racks, floors, and cooling. With 831 projects under construction globally, this new demand supports US HRC prices, especially for modern electric-arc producers like Nucor and Steel Dynamics.
This is a major new source of demand that lifts steel prices.
Capital shifts to real economy, boosting steel A strategist says US capitalism is moving from buybacks to building real assets like steel, copper, and power. This reshoring and supply-chain trend means more investment in steel capacity and higher demand for US HRC.
It signals a broad shift that increases steel demand and investment.
USMCA talks create tariff uncertainty US and Mexico will hold a fourth round of USMCA talks in September. Progress on steel trade is positive, but unresolved issues like Section 232 tariffs (50% on steel) and US content rules keep uncertainty high, which can sway steel prices both ways.
Trade policy directly affects steel flows and prices, and the outcome is unclear.
Chinese oversupply weighs on steel prices Thailand's construction material index shows steel prices fell 0.6% in August due to excess Chinese supply. This global glut, with projected excess capacity of 745 million tons by 2028, pressures US HRC prices by keeping a lid on global benchmarks.
It is a key counterweight that limits price gains from demand.
