A stronger dollar and lower-priced imports continue weight negatively on domestic finished steel prices in the Midwest.

This week AK Steel announced the idling of a portion of the Kentucky Works Plant, following the recent announcement by US Steel of its intention to idle their Granite City Works plant earlier this month.

This tightening in supply as well as the initiation of filed trade cases is the cause of optimism for some market participants who remain hopeful of an uptick in pricing come Q1 2016.
