1708 ET - Steel Dynamics expects stronger demand as market conditions improve, helped in part by changing trade policies. "We expect a favorable market environment to take shape as unfair trade practices diminish, policy clarity improves, and U.S. manufacturing continues to expand," CEO Mark Millett says. The company sees the U.S. International Trade Commission's final determinations on coated flat rolled steel boosting its operations and market positioning, he says. The USIT determined last month that U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of corrosion-resistant steel products from a number of countries that are sold at less than fair value. The Commerce Department will issue antidumping duty orders and countervailing duty orders on such imports as a result. (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
