Written by John Packard
February 23, 2017
On Wednesday, February 22, 2017, California Steel Industries (CSI) sent a letter to their customers advising them of their intention to adjust their extras used when pricing galvanized steels in various thicknesses and coating weights.
LME Zinc pricing has been on a tear over the past year as it has moved from $0.80 per pound one year ago to as high as $1.33 per pound within the past couple of weeks.
We are providing the old and new coating extras for you to review. We will have analysis of various mills and their extras in our website for our members.
