Yeah, but #4 & 5 were in place already last summer and fall and steel price was fairly stable. Non-ferrous is down around here (copper just started going down recently) but much less of a hit, (ok aluminum down about 35% since early 2018 or so). I know that non-ferrous and steel don't line up the same but some of the same factors should be in play. Supposedly the economy is roaring so you'd think demand within the country would be up. Maybe it just shows how much of USA scrap was heading to Chicom land on a regular basis for the last decade or so...
