CRU’s Market Outlooks and Cost Services provide a medium-term market and cost curve analysis service across steel and steelmaking raw material commodity markets.
Market Outlooks are tailored to individual commodities and offer historical and forecast prices, analysis of market developments and a comprehensive historical and projected market data service. Most Market Outlooks publish a full report every three months with updates and insights published more frequently. In some markets, we publish a 25-year forecast of demand, supply and prices, either as an appendix to the Market Outlook or as a separate report.
CRU offers cost models, cost curves and cost report services for more than 32 mining, metal and fertilizer commodities.
Our cost experts are based in key mining territories such as Australia, Chile, China, India and North America. We employ economists, metallurgists, geologists, chemists, engineers and mathematicians to operate and develop our cost services.
