My hectic travel schedule continues as I go to Chicago on Monday afternoon as we will be conducting our new Managing Price Risk II: Strategies and Execution workshop on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The workshop instructor is Andre Marshall, CEO of Crunchrisk and one of our speakers at this year’s Steel Summit Conference in Atlanta. We also have a number of participants in this workshop who are connected with the CME Group. Our next Managing Price Risk II workshop will be held later this fall.
Registration for our Steel Summit Conference is available online or you are welcome to contact our offices at: 800-432-3475. You can find the full program, hotel information, etc. by clicking on the tabs on the Steel Summit page in the Events section of our website. If you like the program we have put together tell your friends, suppliers and customers maybe they would like to attend as well. The dates are in early September (3rd and 4th) and we are looking forward to a good turnout and exceptional program.
I want to thank those of you who are new to Steel Market Update and I encourage you to interact with us whenever possible. We appreciate questions, comments and suggestions and we look forward to receiving them.
As I mentioned in our last SMU newsletter, the jury is out at the moment regarding flat rolled steel prices. There are differing opinions on the subject with some feeling prices will firm at the level we are currently at and, others believe that with their inventories beginning to rise and supply destined to return to the market that prices will continue to weaken from here. I appreciate hearing from anyone who has an opinion on the subject: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Looking forward to seeing you in Atlanta.

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.

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.

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