ForgeCast | Ava Hascall from Hascall Steel

Ava Hascall from Hascall Steel joined the ForgeCast this week, sharing some insider knowledge on recent end-user trends, misconceptions about the steel industry, and a nuanced take on tariffs. Some highlights from Ava: State of the industry: "Automotive is leveling off and now the higher tech industries we're seeing more growth…automotive defaults are at ~5% right now on automotive loans, so…a lot more stock on the ground, then 9 to 12 months later, we're just going to see reduced demand” Misconceptions about the steel industry: “A lot of people think the mills have massive foresight into what's happening in the world. Actually, it's the service centers that know because we're looking at people's inquiry every single day. We know, OK, what commodities are hot right now? What gauges are hot right now?” On tariff complexities: “You take away foreign competition, yes the price level increases one time, but does it keep increasing because there isn't competition? That's another question.”
