It seems to me that the building industry is picking up and leaving the scrap pricees behind.
    I'm in the reno business and am also seeing business pick up. I was recently on a job at a campground. I was astounded to see the place packed with large RVs. I also noticed hundreds of middle-aged Harley riders coming through the small town I was at. Apparently, both RV and Harley Davidson sales are now back at per-recession levels with an upward trajectory. In my view, if discretionary spending is this strong, things are finally getting better.

    Oil prices manipulated by those that control the oil - "Big Oil Corps.".

    Scrap prices is predicated by supply and demand, the particular commodity drives that sector.

    The California Harbor Strike - was a play on global trade by union labor leaders and a particular political party exercising their "muscles" and "Will" because they can!

    As "We the People" continue to do the best we can.

    OPINION: people are spending their grand children's money, credit, and fiat counterfeited $ (counter fit when you print it)

    The very same thing that got us where we are now. Do you remember the Trillion $ bail out to those Banksters to big to fail That Trillion was just to distract you from seeing the 18 Trillion in borrowed $ they have really spent in the last few years that your kids and grand children will pay for.
