While attending the ASD meeting in Cleveland last week, SMU reporter, Sandy Williams heard a steel service center discussing the impact of Obamacare on their company which is located in Ohio, “Because Obamacare healthcare and some of the laws, quite frankly, in the State of Ohio, we are now forced to go to temporary employees because we are at the 50 employee threshold. Up to three years ago our employees paid none of their health costs. Today they pay 15% of their health care costs. We want to hold them at 15%. We don’t want to overburden our employees with healthcare. The insurance companies have to be regulated, they have come to us because we have two employees with serious cancer problems and are threatening not to rate us, not to sell us.”
Invitations for the next SMU steel market survey will be sent out on Monday morning at 8 AM ET. If you receive an invitation please take a few moments to click on the link and respond to our online questionnaire.
We continue to work on our website and newsletter with fingers crossed we will be able to come up late this week…
As always your business is truly appreciated.

There are days when this feels like a “nothing ever happens” market. Don’t get me wrong. Plenty is happening in the world. It’s just that none of it seems to matter when it comes to sheet and plate prices.

Final Thoughts: AMU brings the news
Usually, I write about steel in this column because, well, we’re Steel Market Update. But before I get to steel, I want to give a shoutout to my colleagues at Aluminum Market Update (AMU) – SMU’s new sister publication.

Final Thoughts
If I could change something, it’d be this: Political news would get more boring. And news about steel prices and steel demand would get a little more exciting.

Final Thoughts: Survey says edition
SMU’s latest survey results indicate that steel market participants think sheet prices are at or near a bottom. But most also think there is limited upside once they inflect higher.

Final Thoughts
A recent IIMA meeting in Brazil shows how the US and much of the rest of the world are operating in parallel realities.
