Steel Market Update follows the latest economic data released throughout each month that pertains to the flat rolled steel industry. In SMU’s latest newsletter, sent out Tuesday night to all members and free trials, we provided data such as apparent steel supply, prepainted steel imports, monthly and yearly steel exports, etc. SMU Price Ranges & Indexes, which come out once every week in our newsletter, were provided Tuesday on flat rolled products. These products include cold rolled, hot rolled, galvanized, and Galvalume coils.

In these articles on steel price ranges and indexes, SMU gives rolling averages for the week, charting the progress of the past three months to show the direction prices are heading. Although Steel Market Update ensures we have many contact points before we ever publish steel prices, we provide a range to better give our readers a full scale to use in buying/selling steel. We often take our prices and compare them to other well-known benchmarkers as well. In our new SMU Steel Buyers Survey sent out Tuesday morning, there was reporting of steel price changes. SMU followed up on many of these changes to give a full report of the pricing environment in the latest newsletter.

The remainder of the newsletter covers steel mill financial reports and their outlooks as well as steel analysts giving their opinion on pricing in the future.
