    I buy steel products for automotive industry. Not dollar store items.

      So then you were probably already buying steel from US steel or Cleveland cliffs. Most automotive ateel in the US is purchased from those two firms

        Correct. And in the last few weeks even with this tarriff announcement and you think business would be better, CC is shutting down plants and IIRC they are losing money. So I’m betting there’s a price increase. All metal suppliers started increasing their prices last month after the announcement to boot.
