Steel Buyers’ Sentiment

Since November 2008 Steel Market Update has been measuring what we call “Buyers Sentiment”. Essentially, we are measuring responses from those who buy and sell flat rolled steel in North America regarding their attitudes about their company’s ability to be successful in the current business conditions.

We also ask questions as to their attitudes regarding projected future business conditions and their company’s ability to be successful 3-6 months into the future.  We call this our Future Buyers Sentiment Index.
