Prices of domestic steel receded somewhat, but the point is that tariffs caused a price increase also in domestic steel. However the PPI shows us that the cost of ALL DOMESTIC steel mill products (of all types) produced in the US increased avg 18% in 2018, after the steel tariffs were imposed. While tariffs may affect only 10% of products used in the industry, the PPI shows us the domestic producers reaction applied to the other 90%.

I posted this on my blog almost two years ago to explain the magnitude of the expected manufacturing construction spending taper decline.
