OPS weighs higher steel ceiling prices amid new orders
OPS plans a forthcoming order to lift the steel ceiling above prior levels and may consider another raise. The proposed rise adds about 40 per ton to ferromanganese and roughly 46 cents per ton to alloy steel, a point of contention for the steel industry in future ceiling increases. The review also considers an increase for chrome alloying material as part of the broader pricing debate. U S growers assert modern methods let them compete with Asian hand labor.
