European steel beams market steady but mills expect better November

The price of steel H-beams in Europe was largely unchanged on Wednesday November 3, with mills hoping for better demand during the month, sources have told Fastmarkets.

Fastmarkets' weekly price assessment for steel beams, domestic, delivered Northern Europe, was ?,?1,010-1,030 ($1,171-1,194) per tonne on Wednesday, unchanged since October 20.
One distributor said that the only demand was to meet urgent needs, with the number of inquiries on the market now much reduced, and he expected there to be a struggle until the year-end.
