MEPS regional average flat products composite indices are derived from a weighted average of prices for hot rolled coil (HRC), hot rolled plate (HRP), cold rolled coil (CRC), hot dipped galvanised coil (HDG) and electro zinc coated coil (EZ). The weighting is based on the consumption of individual flat products in a specified region. Prices are collected in the appropriate local currency and converted into US dollars to provide a basis for comparison. Indices are calculated by comparing the current price with the corresponding value in January 1997. This base value has an index number of 100.
Long Products Composite Index
MEPS regional average long products composite indices are computed from a weighted average of prices for wire rod, sections & beams, rebar and merchant bar. The weighting is based on the consumption of individual long products in a specified region. Prices are collected in the appropriate local currency and converted into US dollars to provide a basis for comparison. Indices are calculated by comparing the current price with the corresponding value in January 1997. This base value has an index number of 100.
