Structural steel prices trend sideways; mill stocks decline

摘要

Structural steel prices continue to move sideways as buyers said their earlier expectations that published tags for beams won't change appear to be on target. "I haven't seen a single letter yet," said a Midwest distributor, referring to mill pricing announcements, which are usually out by this time in the month. "We called a few of them and asked, and they indicate that they'll remain flat."
