    Final Thoughts

    Written by John Packard


    Besides working on flat rolled steel pricing for most of the week, I have also been interviewing companies by email and over the phone to learn more about demand and how demand is holding up as we get deeper into 4th Quarter 2014. This becomes an even more important topic when considering rising inventories at the service centers and, what appears to be another big month in store for flat rolled steel imports.

    It is normal for many industries to be affected by normal seasonal issues around the holiday period between Thanksgiving and New Year. I plan on putting an article together about what I am learning in Sunday evening’s issue of SMU. If you have any comments regarding demand for your products that you would like to share with me you can do so by sending an email to: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com. Your comments will not be attributed to you or your company.
