As we look ahead to 2024, I’m finding that the global demand for steel is expected to fluctuate significantly, influenced by factors such as infrastructure spending in emerging economies and ongoing supply chain disruptions. How are others preparing for these shifts in the market, and what indicators are you watching closely?
I’ve been closely watching the shifts in infrastructure spending too, especially in emerging markets. One thing that’s helped my team is using real-time data analytics to track demand indicators, which has improved our forecasting accuracy. What specific indicators are you finding most useful?
It’s interesting how infrastructure investment can feel like a rollercoaster, isn’t it? Keeping an eye on local policy changes might be key — some regions are planning major projects that could shift demand pretty swiftly. Curious to know what specific data tools @emma_steel23 has been using for insights.
I totally agree about tracking infrastructure spending. I’m also looking at supply chain indicators like freight rates — they can really shape demand. Any thoughts on specific markets to watch?
