Steel Market Update has an offer to those who are interested in receiving our newsletter on a regular basis. We are offering, for a limited time, a 14 month membership at the price of a one-year membership. On an $895 single membership the cost savings is $149 – on corporate or multi-person memberships – the savings is even higher.

Steel Market Update (SMU) has been publishing our newsletter for almost seven years going back to the publisher’s days at the domestic conversion mill: Winner Steel (now Sharon Coatings). Since August 2008 Steel Market Update has been made available to the steel community as a publication dedicated to the flat rolled steel industry in North America.

SMU concentrates our efforts in assisting our readers to better understand the flat rolled steel industry in whole, trends which impact both buyers and sellers of steel and we index pricing on hot rolled, cold rolled, galvanized and Galvalume steels on a weekly basis. We also index scrap prices on #1 HMS, shredded scrap and #1 busheling.

Besides our indexes we have a number of proprietary products including our SMU Steel Buyers Sentiment Index and our SMU Price Momentum Indicator.

Our steel market survey is second to none as we poll close to 800 active buyers and sellers of flat rolled steel. Our survey is produced twice per month and we have just begun our mid-December survey earlier today.

Steel Market Update believes in educating the active steel community on a variety of topics. We conduct workshops such as Steel 101: Understanding the Making & Rolling of Steel, Price Volatility – Hedging Price Risk and our annual fall “Steel Summit” conference which we have been holding in conjunction with METALCON. As another benefit to membership all SMU members receive discounts on our programs and workshops.

Unlike any other publication we know, Steel Market Update believes our job is to provide value to our members. We stand behind our product and will refund 100% to any member who does not feel they are receiving value out of our newsletter and website.

If you are interested and want to learn more about becoming a member – please contact Sophia Fain in our office – 800-432-3475 (706-216-5440) or by email at: info@steelmarketupdate.com

Our special membership offer expires on January 3, 2012.
