Market Update

The latest news on pricing trends:

Pricing over the last month, and actually for the last several months, have remained relatively flat. If anything, prices might have tightened up a bit over the last 30 days depending on the commodity and market served. Most pricing indicators show prices have remained steady. Shipments of steel continue to be a bit slower than the same period of time in 2012.
