Ngomthamo wonyaka we-1.5 yezigidi zeetoni ezimfutshane, ukuvalwa okulindileyo kuya kucutha umthamo opheleleyo wase-US.Oko kuthethiweyo, imakethi yasekhaya iyaqhubeka nokubambana ne-glut yokubonelela.Lo mba ukhokelele ekwehleni kwamaxabiso e-HRC, CRC kunye ne-HDG ukusukela ekupheleni kuka-Epreli.Ngaphaya koko, umthamo omtsha uyaqhubeka ukuza kwi-Intanethi.I-BlueScope, i-Nucor kunye ne-Steel Dynamics (i-SDI) iyaqhubeka nokunyusa imveliso kumatshini wokungqusha owandisiweyo/aqaliswe ngokutsha.Uqikelelo lucebisa ukuba ezo zixhobo zokusila zinokongeza malunga ne-15,000 yeetoni ezimfutshane ngosuku zomthamo osicaba kunye nentsimbi ekrwada.

Ngomthamo opheleleyo, i-SDI Sinton iya kuvelisa i-3 yezigidi zeetoni ezimfutshane ngonyaka, kunye nokuthunyelwa kulindeleke ukuba kufikelele kwi-1.5 yezigidi zeetoni ezimfutshane ekupheleni kuka-2022. Ngeli xesha, iNorth Star BlueScope yongeze iitoni ezimfutshane ezingama-937,000 ngonyaka eziya kulindeleka ukuba zisebenze ngokupheleleyo kwisithuba seenyanga ezili-18 ezizayo.Ezo zongezelelo zidityanisiweyo kwimarike ziya kuhlawula ngaphezulu koko kulahlekileyo ngokuvalwa kwe-UPI.
