I cover global flat steel markets, mainly hot rolled coil, as well as cold rolled and galvanized products. I am responsible for the regular market reports on China, India, Vietnam, Japan, Pakistan and Europe, tracking prices, trade flows and the factors that drive them. I hold a Master’s degree in English Philology and Translation from Alfred Nobel University in Dnipro, Ukraine.
