HARDI Wholesalers Expecting New Price Announcement on Galvanized
Written by John Packard
Steel Market Update participated in the monthly galvanized steel focused conference call sponsored by HARDI (*) earlier today. The wholesalers and manufacturers who participated in the call reported rising prices out of their domestic mill suppliers. Most reported the mills as having collected $20 to as much as $40 per ton since the increases were announced in December 2015.
The consensus of opinion was that the domestic steel mills would raise prices soon (call was prior to Nucor and NLMK price announcements).
