Steel Prices
After two consecutive quarters of stable prices, Corus have announced that base prices for structural steel sections are to increase by £60/tonne from 1st April 2008 and they are already making noises that this will be followed by a further increase of circa £20/tonne in quarter 3 of this year. In justifying the increases, Corus points to escalating raw material and energy prices forcing up manufacturing costs and also, the ‘opportunity’ factor presented by a shortfall in steel producing capacity in meeting the high demand for products world wide.
