    I am hearing from some of AK Steel’s customers that the hot end of the mill will be back up early this week. One told me on Friday, “I spoke with AK yesterday and was told there will be little impact from the ladle accident…”

    I got a question from a steel buyer dealing with Big River Steel regarding the mill limiting the tonnage they were being allowed to buy for the month of March. They asked if SMU has been hearing similar inquiries from other BRS buyers?
