Outlook Encouraging Across Markets Amid Varied U.S. Industry Signals
The report notes improving retail distribution and tax collections in Southern Western Northwestern markets due to better weather. Rail returns, record exports from New York, and strong wheat and fruit crop data buoy optimism while a weakness in the Central West tempers gains. Labor tensions loom in lake ore handling, but spring and summer activity are highly anticipated as coal and steel sectors show mixed yet hopeful trends. Foreign demand is a key future driver as pig iron negotiations continue in New York and Detroit areas. Prices hold generally firm for steel products with anthracite down slightly and bituminous coal in demand.
