Why US Steel sale could be good for American manufacturing, according to one analyst
Maybe this Josh Spoores guy doesn't realize we have anti-trust laws? In his defense, I can understand why since we don't enforce them anymore and allow 3-4 big competitors in every sector/industry in this country.
Why US Steel sale could be good for American manufacturing, according to one analyst
The analyst says industry consolidation in the US has led to higher steel prices for domestic buyers, fueling a continued trend of off-shoring manufacturing to places like China and other markets. This spurs an increase in steel imports that have already been processed into the format needed for final assembly.
"If another [US-based] steelmaker would have bought out US Steel, and it was just consolidation within the market, I think it would have led to higher prices and eventually more off-shoring of manufacturing and the import of steel-intensive goods," said Spoores.
