STEEL MARKET NEWS
WHEN WILL STEEL PRICES PEAK?
OUR SUPPLIERS HAVE SHARED WITH US THAT THEY BELIEVE THE STEEL MARKET HAS POTENTIALLY REACHED ITS PEAK, OR AT MINIMUM, STABILIZED AS OF THE 4TH QUARTER OF 2021. ON CERTAIN TUBE STEEL PRODUCTS, OUR MOST RECENT INCREASE HAS BEEN RESCINDED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A WELCOMING ANNOUNCEMENT. WHILE WE MAY NOT BE SEEING STEEL PRICES AT PRE-PANDEMIC RATES, THINGS SEEM TO BE TRENDING TOWARDS MORE FAVORABLE STEEL PRICES AS WE GO INTO 2022.
STEEL AVAILABILITY
AVAILABILITY IN THE STEEL MARKET HAS GOTTEN MUCH BETTER SINCE THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2021. WE HAVE SEEN PRODUCT LEAD TIMES BECOME MORE REASONABLE WITH LESS SHORTAGES AND ALLOCATION TOTALS INCREASING.
CURRENT BUILDING LEAD TIMES
WITH 2021 BEHIND US, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN A REASONABLE LEAD TIME WHILE TAKING ON MANY NEW CUSTOMERS AND PROJECTS WHILE MAINTAINING EXTREMELY REASONABLE LEAD TIMES. OUR CURRENT LEAD TIMES EXTEND INTO APRIL 2022.
