(OP)
I'm sure that most have heard rumors but the US steel market is undergoing a huge x-formation right now. last I checked the price for HRPO 1008/1010 is going to be >$32/cwt. Who knows where the special finished and High quality forming steels are gonna end up.

RE: Warning.....
All our deliveries are slipping and some quotes on quantity are good for only a few days and if requoted there is double digit price increase tacked on. In fact some suppliers are only giving daily quotes even on quantities of 40,000 lbs. Several larger suppliers are even limiting quantities.
Here are some 2 months price our price increases on domestic manufacturer.
3/8x3.5 A193 B8 $.58 to $.70
3/8x3.5 A193 B7 $.26 to $.32
3/8x32.5 B8 Hex bolt $2.02 to $2.47
CS all-thread both black and zinc plated has gone up 40% in the last 40 days.
Lately Copper has also come into play with double digit increases
A sister company is having the same problem with all flavors of pipe.
Another big problem is that a lot of SS scrap, in fact all scrap is being exported which is going to cause an onging problem with what little domestic (US) production left.
