** Brokerage says past price increases are expected to drive steady earnings growth for sheet steel producers
** BMO notes that current sheet prices will stay elevated for longer, with stronger momentum
** Both Steel Dynamics and Nucor posted a rise in first-quarter profit in April, helped by higher steel prices resulting from tighter supply due to mill outages and imports falling to multi-year lows
