Industry updates from metalsdelivered.com. The metal market changes constantly due to mill capacity, energy prices, freight availability, and global demand. Our goal is to provide practical information to help fabricators, contractors, and manufacturers plan purchases and manage project costs.
This page summarizes what we are currently watching. For detailed updates, see our latest Market Update posts below.

Premiums remain tied to energy costs and regional supply. Processing capacity and import flow frequently affect availability more than base commodity pricing.
Freight capacity varies by region. Long material and oversized freight remain the most volatile shipping category, especially for job site deliveries.
Iron ore, scrap steel, and bauxite directly impact mill production costs and replacement pricing for:
Metal production is energy intensive. Changes in fuel and electricity pricing affect mill operating schedules, surcharges, and output levels.

Our distributed warehouse network allows material to ship from multiple regions depending on availability.
These observations are informational only and not price guarantees.
Rising lead times often precede price increases.
Falling scrap prices may signal downward pressure.
Freight demand affects total project cost as much as material price.
Large projects should avoid last-minute ordering during peak construction seasons.
Construction and manufacturing demand historically drives seasonal fluctuations. Spring and late summer typically see increased structural demand, while winter months often provide improved buying opportunities depending on region.
Avoid scheduling installation until material has shipped and tracking is issued.
For large orders, request a project quote. Quotes are typically valid for a limited time due to market volatility.
