SMU Steel Market Trends Analysis: Week Ending March 23, 2018
Written by John Packard
Twice per month, once at the beginning of the month and then again in the middle of the month, Steel Market Update conducts an analysis of the trends impacting the flat rolled and plate steel markets. We invite 640 individuals associated with flat rolled and plate steels in purchasing, sales or executive positions at manufacturing, steel distribution, steel mill, trading company and toll processors. The goal is to better understand and measure trends in demand, purchasing, steel pricing, negotiations, lead times, spot price movement at service centers, foreign steel and more. As a result, we produce a tremendous amount of information, which is then shared with our Premium level members.
SMU just completed our analysis for mid-March 2018 and we want to share a portion of the results with Executive, Premium and those of you who are on a free trial of our newsletters.
