SMU Steel Market Survey: A Taste of the Process/Results
Written by John Packard
Twice per month, Steel Market Update conducts an analysis on the flat rolled steel market. Our focus is on pricing and price direction, demand, inventory management, international steel, buyers’ sentiment, service center spot price direction, mill lead times and negotiations, and more. We have been conducting our market analysis going back to late 2008.
The process is accomplished using an online questionnaire, which can be accessed via a link in an emailed invitation sent to approximately 650 steel buyers, sales and management people throughout the United States and Canada.
