European steel beam prices have widened upward due to rising scrap feedstock costs. The price range for steel beams in Northern Europe increased by €15 per tonne, reflecting the higher production costs. Despite weak demand from the construction sector, mills have been pushing up offer prices to stimulate buying and start the new year at higher market levels. The market remains uncertain about buyers' willingness to accept the upward movement in prices, but the trend indicates a bullish outlook for the steel beam market.
