First to answer the question, I believe scrap prices will increase but not to the artificial level they were a couple of years ago. Part of this will be caused by supply and demand and some based on rebuilding the infrastructure. Conflict in the Middle East may also have an impact. I think Trump has some lofty goals, but the reality of politics will slow down his timeline. Future foreign policy may cripple both China and India and put the brakes on global demand for scrap. Therefore I believe the increase in prices will be natural and not the result of leadership in the Oval Office. The demand will come from within the U.S. Just an opinion.
