Happy Monday Everyone -

Is anyone getting hit with increasing surcharges on weld wire due to the tariffs. I have been seeing surcharges per lb of wire.
Depending on where the wire is manufactured the surcharge is adjusted and if it is Alum, SS, CS.
Just want to get some feedback.

Thanks

Yes,

Everybody who buys or sell metal is dealing with some pricing flux in the U.S.

Here is one published example

The 232 tariff on aluminum and steel that went into effect just two weeks ago is a big hit. 

Hopefully temporary...

Anything more is getting political and I'm not going to be the one to start that.
