A quick reminder to those who have registered (or are about to register) for our Steel 101 workshop outside of Charleston, SC on January 20 & 21, 2015. The special rate ($91/nite) we have negotiated with our hotel (Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina) will expire at the end of the day on Friday (December 20th). Please do not forget to make your reservations.
The workshop is about two-thirds full and we will continue to accept registrations over the next few weeks. We will advise when we are close to closing off registration. You can register on our website or through our office: 800-432-3475. Please contact us should you have any questions: info@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
Also, another reminder that Steel Market Update will publish on Sunday and Tuesday of next week before taking a couple of issues off. We will not publish on Christmas Day and we will not publish on Sunday, December 28th. We will publish on Tuesday, December 30th and then not again until Sunday, January 4th.
If anyone has any good store recommendations in Chicago for Christmas gifts for my wife…please let me know. My schedule has been very hectic and I am running out of excuses as to why I haven’t completed my Holiday shopping. We will be in Chicago most of the week next week visiting our musician son.
I expect that some of you may be taking Holiday next week so I want to be one of the first to wish you and your family best wishes, much joy and peace over the Holidays.
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.
Final Thoughts
SMU digs into the vault to look back at an old survey, and to tell what exciting things are still to come.
Final Thoughts
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.
Final Thoughts
We just wrapped up another Steel 101 workshop, easily the most hands-on industry workshop on steelmaking and market fundamentals.
