Latest Steel Flash Report – July 31, 2008, issue preview: 

Steel prices still are rising but the rate of growth has slowed
Carbon steel prices continued to rise at a slow (2.5% month over month) pace in July. In fact, a market basket of steel mill products sold in the U.S. and Canada and tracked by Purchasingdata.com increased by 3% in June. That’s the lowest rate of inflation in eight months and it has intensified the commentary that a price peak may be near; however, that’s not universally accepted and the debate rages on.
