Written by Tim Triplett
September 2, 2021
Steel Market Update will not publish on Sunday due to the Labor Day holiday. We will resume our normal publishing schedule on Tuesday.
We will be sending out our market trends questionnaire on Monday and Tuesday as usual, however. Please take the time to share your views on steel prices and other factors affecting the market.
For us to publish reliable pricing data on Tuesday, we are counting on a good response to our survey despite the holiday on Monday.
Thanks in advance for your participation.
