We have to do a better job of learning military time. By mistake tonight’s newsletter was sent out at 20:00 hours not 22:00 hours as originally planned. Since I have a habit of working into the evening on publishing nights all of a sudden we published before the newsletter was complete. So, throw away your 20:00 hour copies and use the 22:00 hour ones (or read the newsletter online) and you will get the complete edition as opposed to the abbreviated one.
I am off to Austin, Texas in the morning to attend the FMA Toll Processing Conference. I am looking forward to visiting Austin for the first time in my life. I am also looking forward to the program which specializes in Advanced High Strength Steels.
Speaking of conferences – please take a moment to complete the survey we have linked you to in tonight’s newsletter. We are working on our Fall 2014 Steel Summit Conference and your responses will be very helpful to our planning.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Another record-breaking SMU Steel Summit is in the books. Thanks to all of you – attendees, speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors – for making it possible it in what has been an uncertain year for steel.

Final Thoughts: Steel Summit 2025 has launched!
Steel Summit 2025 has just launched, and we're off to an amazing start.

Final Thoughts
The big show is here again. SMU Steel Summit begins on Monday. This year, like last year, more than 1,500 people will be joining us. And I couldn’t be more excited to have everyone here in Atlanta.

Final Thoughts
With SMU Steel Summit starting in just a few days, I decided to go back and do a quick check on where things stand now compared to the week before Summit last year.

Final Thoughts
Is a pattern finally emerging in the post-Liberation Day tariff landscape?
