What you get

Four data layers.
One Google Sheet. Every Monday.

Built for procurement managers who need a clear read on the market — not another platform to log into.

Price & Production Brief
Steel price momentum (hot-rolled and cold-rolled indices, month-over-month and year-over-year) alongside weekly domestic output and capacity utilization. A factual read of where the market stands.
  • BLS producer price indices via FRED
  • AISI weekly production & utilization
  • Descriptive market read — no hype
Energy Cost & Tariff Watch
Henry Hub natural gas and industrial electricity — the leading cost inputs for electric-arc-furnace mills — plus live USITC steel-product proceedings: antidumping reviews, safeguards, and Section 232 activity.
  • EIA energy benchmarks
  • USITC trade actions via Federal Register
  • Early signal on cost & supply risk
Accumulating 52-Week History

  • Rolling 52-week series, auto-updated
  • No manual entry, no maintenance
  • Built for contract-timing decisions
