Over the past several months, we’ve shared a lot of commodities charts and highlighted the economic theme of inflation.

Well, inflation is here. Now it’s a matter of figuring out if it will get worse.

One commodity that is an inflationary indicator is steel. We highlighted its bullish formation several times, including our latest update on the VanEck Steel ETF (NYSE:SLX) from early March.
