Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
I received a couple of notes from trading companies thanking me for my article on Thursday evening (The Sky is NOT Falling… at least not yet) as I tried to put into context some of the pricing available for foreign steel, correct some misinformation and look at the bigger picture. Even as questions arise about demand, as long as supply is constrained and inventories are balanced or less than balanced, the domestic mills will have the wind to their backs.
Even so, no one should become complacent and accept that the status quo will exist for the rest of this year or even into next year. There always seems to be something to drive the train off the tracks and I expect it will happen to this cycle as well.
