US domestic hot dipped galvanized steel spot market prices have softened by $1.00 cwt. ($22/mt or $20/nt) on the top end since our last report a week ago.  Lead times, which had been trending at 6-7 weeks, have softened to 5-6 weeks.

Sources close to SteelOrbis have said they’re keeping close tabs on scrap prices during the current month’s buy cycle. Although it’s been speculated that HMS, P&S, shredded and busheling scrap prices would trend down in July, early indicators point to sideways trading on cut grades, with a $10-$20/gt ($10-$20/mt) downtrend for busheling. However, firm numbers are not expected until after the July 4 holiday.

This week’s domestic HDG and Galvalume spot market prices are listed in the chart below.
