Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
If there are going to be price increase announcements prior to the New Year they will most likely be made this week as opposed to next when most of the steel community is taking time off for the Holidays. If they are not made this week then the expectation has to be the first week of the New Year, with the expectation that scrap prices will be moving higher once the January negotiations kick into gear.
A reminder about our Holiday publishing schedule. We will publish on Tuesday and Thursday of this week. We will not publish on Sunday (Christmas Day) and will have very abbreviated issues on Tuesday, December 27th as well as Thursday, December 29th. We will not publish on Sunday, January 1st. We will return to our normal publication schedule with Tuesday, January 3rd issue.
