SMU price ranges: Steady as she goes

SMU price indices saw little change again this week, with sheet and plate products fluctuating by $5-10 per short ton (st) compared to last week. Prices have remained relatively stable in recent weeks, though they have generally trended downward since October.

Sheet prices are holding at or near multi-month lows, similar to levels seen in late July and early August. Plate prices continue to drift lower from their mid-2022 peak.
