EU policy shifts to drive intra-EU steel trade
The carbon border adjustment mechanism together with the Steel and Metals Action Plan, is set to meaningfully restrict steel import penetration in the region.
The EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), which took effect on 1 January, together with the bloc’s Steel and Metals Action Plan, is set to meaningfully restrict steel import penetration in the region. The measures are likely to result in a sustained increase in intra-EU steel trade from 2026, reducing the influence of global benchmarks on domestic pricing, a dynamic similar to the US market’s decoupling following the introduction of Section 232 duties.
Key topics covered in the paper:
- CBAM: High uncertainty, rising cost pressures
- Quota tightening to further restrict imports
- Improving EU demand prospects
