Current Steel Buyers Sentiment Index Dips as Future Rises

SMU’s Current and Future Steel Buyers Sentiment Indices headed in opposing directions this week, with current dropping while future sentiment rose, according to our most recent survey data.

Every other week we poll steel buyers about sentiment. The Steel Buyers Sentiment Indices measure how steel buyers feel about their company’s chances of success in the current market, as well as three-to-six months down the road. We have historical data dating to 2008.
