Steel Prices

While most indexes only supply one number-their index, SMU believes active buyers and sellers require more information in order to make quality decisions.

So, what does this mean?

First, we start out with a range of prices: High, Low, and our Average (SMU index).

Next, we create a visual so our readers can follow the trend.

Then, we forecast future price movements.

Last, we compare our SMU Buyers Sentiment Index against pricing.
