For those of you paying attention to our website you are aware that we published an article first thing this morning about the US Steel Gary Works announcement. As we have mentioned in the past, one of the goals of the new website is to be able to get breaking news to our readers as quickly and efficiently as possible. My recommendation would be to stop by the website a couple times during the day to see if there are articles and/or blogs being posted that may impact your business or decision-making process.
This brings me to our blog posts – we are posting material which we feel is relevant to the industry and many times we will post items which are not included in our newsletters. So, when you do stop by the website take a gander at the rolling headlines (latest news) as well as our most recent blog posts which can be found in the left hand column on the home page or you can click on the “Blog” tab in the toolbar.
There should be plenty of content in tonight’s issue to spark a few debates within your office and within the industry. If you are a steel mill how do you react to what is happening at US Steel (and AK Steel for that matter). What do you think the mills will do? If you are an end user or steel buyer – how are you reacting to the challenges on your doorstep (or close at hand)? If you are a service center, are you pushing prices higher right now or providing some relief to your customers?
If you would like to include us in the debate please do not hesitate to send us your questions, comments or letters to the editor. You can reach us at: info@SteelMarketUpdate.com
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.

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