As with last week, the most commonly heard spot market price ranges for US domestic HDG and Galvalume coil are mostly stable, and availability, sources note, remains tight.
“Things are getting crazier by the day, the scramble is on, and everyone is busy,” a trader source said, adding that interest in booking offshore continues to improve due to 7+ week domestic lead times. “Domestic prices are sky high, lead times are long and in some cases, imported material will arrive within a month of domestic orders that would be placed today. Assuming that the imported material ships on time, buyers can get a good price advantage.”
