Review of the First Six Months 2015
Written by John Packard
We have seen many of the indices either produced by or followed by Steel Market Update (SMU) were falling during the first few months of 2015 before stabilizing and beginning to rebound by the end of the first six months 2015. Not everything is reacting in unison so we thought we would point out a few of the highlights over the first six months of this calendar year.
The table below is much like the monthly one we used earlier in this newsletter. However, we have added a trend line to give you a better visual of what has been happening with each of our data points over the past six months. We are seeing a number of “green shoots” which give us hope that the second half of 2015 will be much better than the first six months.
