Korean steel demand to rise slightly

According to the recent market reports, the current global steel shortage is expected to moderate in the second half of next year due to a fall in Chinese demand. The Korea Iron and Steel Association announced that Korean demand for steel will rise by just 3.9-5% next year compared with an estimated increase of 7.6% this year.
