I just heard today from a supplier that high alloy steel prices have recently almost doubled (USA). I'm wondering if China is quietly jacking us so that when the hammer falls it's easier for them, or if they expect it to roil us so hard that we all start fighting each other. Anyway, brace yourselves, it's gonna be rough ahead, and soon. If you have anything you are looking to purchase, get it right now, and stock up on freeze dryed food too.
