What does it mean "all-but-steady"? Hi, I'm learning English. I read this sentence. "Iron ore import prices had previously been coming under all-but-steady pressure since the beginning of August. Despite the recent increas in prices, imported iron ore cargoes remain very attractive to Chinese buyers and Chinese iron ore fixture volume has remained very firm." What does it mean "all-but-steady"?

All-but-steady pressure means the pressure is applied continually and the amount has little variation.
