SMU Buyers Sentiment Indices Switch Directions

The Steel Buyers Sentiment indices moved in opposite directions this week, with Current Buyers Sentiment edging down and Future Buyers Sentiment inching up, according to SMU’s most recent survey data.

SMU’s Steel Buyers Sentiment Indices measure how steel buyers feel about their company’s ability to be successful in the current market, as well as three to six months down the road. Every other week we poll steel buyers about sentiment. We have historical data going back to 2008.
