Service Center Inventories: Where We Stand as October Ends
Written by John Packard
As we approach the end of October, SMU wanted to update our readers on the flat rolled inventory information we have been collecting from the steel service centers in the United States.
At the end of July, we began gathering the number of months of supply being held at a select number of service centers. The service centers reported inventories averaging 2.73 months of supply. At the end of August, the number of service centers was expanded and the number of months of supply remained stable at 2.70 months.
