The Steel Index - Exhibitor
The Steel Index was officially launched by Steel Business Briefing in April 2006. This will, for the first time, provide verifiable and independent weekly steel price information based on actual transactions. It also lays the foundation for the development of steel price risk management tools.

The initial focus of The Steel Index is to compile reference prices for specified grades of major steel products, based on actual transactions by participants in the steel supply chain.

The Steel Index’s robust and verifiable methodology could enable it to provide the necessary settlement prices for steel futures trading and other financial market products. This would open the door to the development of an extensive range of steel price risk management tools to help steel buyers and sellers handle steel price volatility.
