A good portion of the Steel Market Update team is bolting for Mobile on Monday to prepare for our next Steel 101 workshop. We are looking forward to having a spirited workshop and we are appreciative of the efforts of our host steel mill – SSAB – as they prepare for our workshop touring their facility.
Our next Steel 101 workshop will be held in Dearborn, Michigan and the host mill will once again be Severstal Dearborn. We have already begun to take registrations for Dearborn and we do expect to sell out fairly quickly based on the feedback we have been receiving from those interested. You can get more information on our website.
After Mobile I will be traveling to Tampa to participate in the Port of Tampa Steel Conference on Thursday evening and Friday morning. By the way – the cost of the conference is $195 per person. You can find more information about the agenda/speakers, etc. on the Port’s website.
It’s Super Bowl Sunday – enjoy the game and we will speak more from Mobile later this week.
On Monday our early February market analysis will begin. Look for your invitations around 8 AM ET and please take a few moments to click on the link contained in the message and complete our survey.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

SMU’s hot-rolled coil price increased for a third consecutive week. And the gains were more pronounced this time following a price hike initiated on Friday by NLMK USA.

SMU digs into the vault to look back at an old survey, and to tell what exciting things are still to come.

Below are some other issues that should be on your radar. Because while prices have been steady, a lot is going on when it comes to news that could impact them.
Final Thoughts: Survey says edition
It's can-kicking at its finest. And it’s been drawn out! Some are getting so good at it, they’re kicking cans and taking names.

We just wrapped up another Steel 101 workshop, easily the most hands-on industry workshop on steelmaking and market fundamentals.
