SMU Comparison Price Indices: Quiet Week
Written by John Packard
Steel Market Update (SMU) follows four other indices besides our own and provides the data to our members on a weekly basis. Recently, we asked our readers if they would like for us to continue providing CRU data and the responses indicated there continues to be an interest in their numbers. We have agreed to a new contact with CRU and will continue to supply the numbers over the next 12 months.
With the exception of SteelBenchmarker, prices remained unchanged over the past week. SteelBenchmarker, which only produces prices twice per month, did come out with new numbers which essentially, caught them up with the rest of the indexes.
