Written by Brett Linton
If we could sum up the month of April in one word it would be, wow! We saw flat rolled steel prices jump by $90 per ton from the last week of March until the last week of April. Our HRC average for the month of April jumped by $87 per ton, while the CME HRC Settlement Price moved up by $86 per ton.
The SMU Steel Buyers Sentiment Index set records for being the most optimistic in the history of our index which goes back to November 2008.
