Current, Future Sentiment Indices Slip

SMU’s Current and Future Steel Buyers Sentiment Indices have both fallen this week from the last market check, 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 going back to 2008.
