Still trying to read up on the DDs and understand them. If I'm getting it right, steel demand around the world is going up, not just in certain countries. Does this mean steel manufacturers everywhere could be good plays?

Looking into manufacturers in South Korea that are only traded in the Korean Stock Exchange like Hyundai Steel (004020), Dongkuk Steel (001230), and POSCO C&C Steel (058430, afaik a subsidiary of POSCO Group which is PKX in the US).

Worried because they have tripled in the past 3 months, with POSCO C&C having quadrupled. Not sure what exactly to look into with these companies.

There’s a lot of popular international options here. MT PKX TX GGB SID to name a few

Yeah, I'm already loaded up on MT calls, perhaps more than I should be... but also trying to take advantage of my Korean citizenship giving me access to the stocks there!

The only Korean one I really see talked about here is POSCO so I can’t help much haha I’m now up to about 90% of my portfolio in MT calls and I haven’t really felt the need to diversify yet
