Pricing Update
Posted 1/24/2008
The steel industry in the
U.S. has announced dramatic price increases over the last few months.
These increases are expected to continue through the first half of 2008.
Scrap prices have increased to approximately $400 / ton and energy costs
remain very high.
As a result, prices for
structural tubing and pipe have risen from $140 to $160 / ton since
November, 2007. Major Mills have announced 5-7 % price increases on DOM
tubing, and ERW tubing has also risen accordingly. Steel bar surcharges
have increased about 4.00 cwt. Future changes will be posted to our
website on a regular basis. |
