We are working into the night to get all of our existing members into the new website. Transition is always a fun project and our company has grown over the past 5+ years. So, this project has been a real challenge for us to complete.
There are bound to be bugs in the system. Sometimes links get broken as we made corrections over the past week or so and we don’t (or didn’t) notice them when the site came up. If you do see something amiss please let us know at: info@SteelMarketUpdate.com and we will correct the problem as soon as possible.
If you are new to Steel Market Update we welcome you and I want to remind our newest members that we enjoy comments, questions and suggestions. Please do not hesitate to contact me personally: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com and tell your friends about us as well.
We had a very successful two single day workshops at one of the domestic steel mills earlier this week. The workshop was a custom program specifically designed to fit their specific needs. This is something we would enjoy doing for other steel related companies or the financial community. If this is something which may be of interest to you and your company contact us for more information: Info@SteelMarketUpate.com
We have just recently completed our Media Kit for those who may have an interest in advertising on either our website or the newsletters we produce. You can request a Media Kit by sending an email request to: Advertising@SteelMarketUpdate.com
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Final Thoughts
Based on the amount of ‘out of office’ replies we’ve been receiving and the results of this week’s steel buyers’ survey, those pesky summer doldrums have arrived for the steel industry.
Final Thoughts
Maybe some of this uncertainty will get ironed out ahead of Liberation Day tariffs resetting higher rates on July 9. But if I had to place a wager, it would be on more drama and last-minute brinksmanship - whether it comes to the Liberation Day tariffs or the various Section 232s that are in the works.

What should you keep your eye on, considering the latest geopolitical events?
Final Thoughts
Not many people in the North American steel market had direct US involvement in another Middle East conflict on their bingo card. Prices weren't expected to shoot higher unless something unexpected happened. That unexpected something has now happened. And there is talk of oil at $100 per barrel. What does that mean for steel?
