    According to foreign media on June 29th, the increase insteel prices in domestic steel mills in the United States has weakened theimpact of 25% of US steel import tariffs on steel imports. Obviously, themarket did not anticipate this situation when tariffs were imposed.

    Since the beginning of the year, the average reference salesof North American long products has increased by 34%. In Western Europe, steelprices in dollar terms rose only 3.5% over the same period. In Asia, the priceof similar products increased by 6.5%.How does the US authorities go to thisstage? It is clear that due to the increase in tariffs, the domestic steelprice increase is greater than the increase in import prices.
