Current Steel Buyers Sentiment Falls, Future Flat
SMU’s Current Steel Buyers Sentiment Index dropped four points this week compared with two weeks ago, while the Future Buyers Sentiment Index remained unchanged, according to our most recent survey data.
The Steel Buyers Sentiment Indices measure how steel buyers feel about their company’s chances to succeed in the current market, as well as three to six months down the road. Every other week we poll steel buyers about sentiment. We have historical dating to 2008.
