Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
On Monday we will begin our mid-February flat rolled steel market analysis. The market has seen prices dropping over the past few weeks at a rate not seen for a number of years. Our survey will help us not only understand where price offers/orders are today but when we think the bottom will be reached. We have key indicators which come out of our market analysis: service center spot pricing both from a distribution and manufacturing perspective, foreign steel price competitiveness and willingness of domestic buyers to commit to new foreign offers, demand and expectations for demand as well as our SMU Steel Buyers Sentiment Index. If you receive an invitation to participate we thank you in advance for taking a few minutes to click on the link and complete our questionnaire.
If you used to get our questionnaire and you haven’t seen it in awhile – check your SPAM folder around 8 AM Eastern Time on Monday morning. That is when our next survey is scheduled to go out. Or, you can contact Brett@SteelMarketUpdate.com and he can provide you a link to SurveyMonkey.com which can help you and your IT people white list the survey invitations so they are not being blocked by your system.
