Steel excess capacity vs Crude steel production

Steel excess capacity (annual) and Crude steel production (monthly) worldwide. They are published at different intervals, so each is drawn on its own rather than matched period by period.

The series

Over time

Global. Steel excess capacity is published as annual figures and crude steel production as monthly ones, so they are drawn on separate charts, clipped to undefined, and no period is matched between them. Read each on its own.

Shared periods

Side by side

No period lines up: steel excess capacity is annual and crude steel production is monthly. A month and a year are not the same measurement window, so no row pairs them.
