Domestic steel supplies 70% of the country China steel is 4% the biggest export the US supplies is energy. Oil, gas etc. Although American steel is a better product than foreign steel with a higher tensile strength many countries prefer it. Canada is a big supplier of Aluminium. Not sure about stainless steel I should find out about that. I am marking all steel orders up 25-30% now. It was costing 49 cents a pound last month and is now at 67 cents per pound. That is usually dictated by the cost of oil but is now in new territory. For now at least.
