SMU Service Center Flat Rolled and Plate Steel Inventories
Written by John Packard
Beginning in July 2018, Steel Market Update has been recruiting flat rolled and plate steel service centers to participate in our monthly analysis. Our goal is to produce a quality data stream out of the service centers, which can help answer questions regarding future demand from the steel distributors. We provided data sources with our SMU “Flash” report last week, which gave a quick early view of how 50 percent or more of the distributors were reporting their inventories. This report is our full analysis for the month.
