The price range for steel H-beams in Europe narrowed upward over the past week, with producers' ambitions for further increases supported by a rise in feedstock costs, sources told Fastmarkets on Wednesday November 18.

Fastmarkets' weekly price assessment for steel beams, domestic, delivered Northern Europe, was ?,?550-570 ($653-676) per tonne on Wednesday, up from ?,?540-570 per tonne one week before.
