Correction: CSI Price Increase Announcement
Written by Brett Linton
March 21, 2014
In our Thursday evening issue, we published an article regarding recent price increase announcements out of Nucor, California Steel Industries (CSI), and AK Steel. We incorrectly stated the increase out of CSI as $40.00/cwt for all products, when it was really a $40 per ton increase. We apologize for the error. The image below is hyper linked to a copy of their price increase announcement.
