Steel Market Update (SMU) will conduct our second Hot Rolled Futures & Hedging Price Risk workshop with Andre Marshall, CEO of Crunch Risk, LLC and one of the most active brokers in the Hot Rolled Futures markets. The workshop will be held at the Chicago Board of Trade on September 29, 2011 and will include a tour of the CME trading floor.

SMU and Mr. Marshall recently held a similar workshop at the same location to a sold out group of steel mills, manufacturing companies, service centers and those associated with the financial/investment community.

Those who attended our July Hedging Price Risk workshop gave the program rave reviews:

“Very professional and conducted by a very experienced member of the industry.” Mike Trull, CSN, LLC.

“Overall, it was a great presentation of how and why companies would use steel futures contracts to manage risk and take advantage of opportunities. Andre pulled the pieces together in a way the participants could understand to make an educated decision about whether and how these products are beneficial for them.” Ben Abrams, Consolidated Scrap.
