Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
I have received many questions regarding the variance in pricing between the various flat rolled steel indexes out there. I have been researching the methodologies between the indexes. I am asking each one to explain how their index works and to provide details or a better explanation in some of the gray areas that may not be as easily understood when reading their methodology online. My goal is to be able to provide as transparent an explanation about each index as possible. SMU and CRU discussed our methodologies last week during the SMU Steel Summit Conference. However, not everyone was able to stay for our discussion, so we will go into more detail on Sunday.
If you have any questions regarding our index, that of CRU or any other index, please send them to: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com
