About Loharo

Loharo is the AI-powered intelligence platform for global steel: verified, transparent, and built for EU trade compliance.

We help the people who buy, sell, trade and import steel see what is moving prices and landed costs, spot quota, tariff and CBAM risks before they hit margins, and know what to watch next, by product and region.

Who we are for

Mid-sized steel buyers, importers, traders, distributors and compliance teams, plus anyone whose margins depend on steel prices, availability and trade rules. Our focus is the practical side of EU trade compliance: CBAM, the EU steel safeguard and tariff quotas, and the trade-defence measures that shape them.

How Loharo works

  • Monitor. We track primary sources: government and customs notices, trade-defence rulings, company filings, industry associations, exchanges and official statistics.
  • Verify. Key facts are checked against at least one primary source before publication. Where that is not yet possible, we say so.
  • Explain. Every article follows the same structure: summary, key numbers, what happened, why it matters commercially, who is affected, what to watch next, and the sources we used.
  • Update. When a story develops, we update it and show the date of the update.

Powered by artificial intelligence, with human oversight

We are open about how Loharo is made. Articles are researched and written with artificial intelligence and checked against primary sources. Loharo’s editor sets our standards, oversees the process and corrects or removes articles when needed. We think you should know how your intelligence is produced.

Verification you can see

Every article lists its sources and carries a verification status: Verified, Partially verified, Analysis or Developing. Facts, analysis and uncertainty are kept separate, so you can tell what is confirmed and what is our reading of it.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it promptly and note the correction in the article. Read our full Editorial Standards for how we check claims.

Not investment advice

Our content is information and analysis for professionals. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
