MARCH NEWS    When a customer recently asked how the steel business was going, our newest addition to the sales staff, Ned Kelly, replied, "It’s kind of like being in the elevator business, full of its ups and downs!" We may have made fun of him for awhile for that one but it certainly rings true these days. Surcharges for April will rise again but not really all due to the nickel, Chrome is the culprit. Chrome averages have risen from $1.752 per pound in January to $1.95 per pound in February. The April 304/304L surcharges will tick up about 6 cents a pound to $1.4754. The 316/316L surcharge for the month of April will go up to $2.4186 per pound vrs $2.3520 per pound in March. Nickel is on the rise trading in the $14.00 dollar range, so watch out for May prices.

Stainless lead times are 5 to 10 weeks at the moment.

Carbon prices are on the rise and lead times have shot out to May.
