Our apologies to those who waited to register for our Steel 101 workshop which is being held in Blytheville, Arkansas. We have sold out the workshop and have a fairly significant waiting list. We are working on our schedule for next year when we anticipate holding four workshops around the country. We are also taking a look to see if we can squeeze another workshop into this year’s schedule. Bear with us as we work through the process with a couple steel mills, hotels, etc. and we will provide when we will conduct another workshop as soon as possible.
We also have a number of disappointed people who were looking forward to our Fall 2013 Steel Summit Conference. We had to make a decision earlier this year as to where our focus and energies needed to be – the new website or our conference. We decided since we are a small team that our members deserved an upgraded web experience and that is where our focus has been in earnest this year. We still have a tentative (hopefully fixed) launch date of Friday the 13th of September… We will conduct our Steel Summit Conference in the late summer/early Fall 2014.
For those who have been with SMU since the beginning the evolution of the company is probably truly amazing. I spoke to one long-time member the other day who reminded me that they were on board before there was an official company – just a daily or close to every day fax being sent to my customers around the country. This new website is our third in a little more than 5 years and I am already calling it Phase 1 of multiple planned expansions.
We look forward to Friday the 13th and providing some new insights and information flow to our members.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

When a mapmaker constructs a map, it’s always to the contours of the land. Or sea. That is, the mapmaker doesn’t say, “Look, these rocks really don’t belong here, so I’m not going to include them in the harbor map.” Uncharted rocks, sink ships (along with loose lips).

We had an October surprise here at SMU on Wednesday. I was working from the CRU office in Pittsburgh, and the internet connection briefly went out. As luck would have it, that happened smack in the middle of a live Community Chat webinar. Fortunately, my colleague David Schollaert stepped in, Zekelman Industries CEO Barry Zekelman rolled with the punches – and the show went on. Could there be any more October surprises in store for us and for the steel market?

We just wrapped up another Steel 101 workshop, easily the most hands-on industry workshop on steelmaking and market fundamentals, in this humble opinion. Last week on Tuesday and Wednesday, SMU’s Steel 101 was held in Starkville, Miss.

Everybody has an opinion about politics these days. More importantly for our readers, though, every business has a bottom line. A popular question in our most recent steel buyers survey asked how uncertainty around the upcoming US presidential election could affect that line.

I’m trying to make sure this is not a TL;DR Final Thoughts. As a journalism school professor once told me, ‘No one but your mom reads more than 1,000 words.’ Also, as the old adage goes, a picture is worth a thousand as well. With that in mind, below are a couple of charts that I think go a long way toward explaining how prices and lead times have been relatively stable despite concerns about demand.
