I don't know about peak metal, but most of the raws in my industry are 
petrochemicals, and I can say that in the last few months, supply is 
waning.  Demand has grown to the point that some companies are offering 
to pay a surcharge or pay more just to get the raws (polymers, resins, 
and waxes) or to get higher up on the waiting list.  Either someone is 
holding on to raws to increase demand, or the supply industry is somehow 
compromised because it surely isn't keeping up with the increased 
worldwide demand.
