SMU Price Ranges & Indices: Postponed to Thursday due to Conference
Written by John Packard
August 30, 2016
Tuesday is normally the day that Steel Market Update puts out our price ranges and averages on hot rolled, cold rolled, galvanized and Galvalume steels. As many of you know we are in the midst of our Steel Summit Conference in Atlanta.
Due to our antitrust guidelines we did not feel it appropriate to discuss specific transaction prices with those associated with our conference where over 400 steel executives have gathered.
We will produce our prices on Thursday and then return to our normal Tuesday release date next week.
