Paper Summary:

This is a brief analysis of price and industry changes in the U.S steel industry. The paper discusses how these changes are as a result of a decrease in demand, as well as changes in the economic situation in the United States.

From the Paper:

"Changes In recent years the topic of discussion in addition to fuel costs are the decreases is consumer demand for products made out of steel or containing steel components (end uses). These end uses can be several items of which many consumers not only use daily but ones which they rely on completely (i.e. washing machines, refrigerators and automobiles). As with all commodities when the demand of a major end use product decreases so does the demand for the raw material used to aid in the production. This decrease is often, if not always, passed on to a retailer who will often in turn reduce his demand for the raw material in order to combat the decreasing consumer demand. Although the U.S. steel industry is on it way to a full recovery after its recent and almost fatal battle with steel imports flooding the U.S. market."
