Steel Price Hike Unlikely Before Fall
NEW YORK AP The Iron Age says a steel price increase before September is unlikely due to President Kennedy’s clash. A July 1 labor contract will add about 6 a ton, with orders at 50 percent capacity. Disruption at local levels may occur from security provisions, including regional transfers and flexible vacation schedules. September rise could occur as liquidations end and orders rebound, but near term outlook remains poor with July production down about 10 percent and August demand weak.
