Steel buyers’ attitudes have improved this month as coronavirus restrictions have eased in some areas and companies have begun to get back to business.
Steel Market Update asked steel buyers how they view their company’s current prospects for success, as well as their chances for success three to six months in the future. The Current Sentiment reading in mid-May was +15, a 21-point improvement from -6 one month ago and back into positive territory.
