[TheForge] RE: Tool Steel

[Stephen Viola]

Yeah it seems that both steel and coal have decided to take a hike
through the roof.. not sure why.. due to oil prices or what??? if not
it is always easy to blame it on oil anyway!
I'm not that much of a market follower so I have no real idea why the
prices are escalating.
Can anyone shed some light on that?
