Steel Market Update just concluded our 5th flat rolled steel market survey earlier today. We have a couple of articles in tonight’s issue associated with our survey results and there will be more on Sunday. Our Premium level members should have access to the latest Power Point presentation on the survey results on our website by late morning on Friday.
I want to welcome our newest members to the Steel Market Update family. I also want to let our newest members know that our office is open to comments and suggestions. We appreciate knowing both what we are doing right as well as what we could do better. I can be reached by email at: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com or on our office phone: 800-432-3475.
We have set a date at the end of April for our next Managing Price Risk workshop. There is quite a bit of interest in futures trading (or in how to hold these lower prices for a longer period of time using futures and options) so we are working on a program focused on some of the issues and opportunities associated with what we are seeing in the market right now (along with the usual protecting of inventory values, margins, etc.). I hope to have the tweaked program ready and online by late next week.
Right now our Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals workshop on May 19 & 20th in the Chicago area is open for registration. You can find details on our website or by clicking on this link. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us in our office: Info@SteelMarketUpdate.com or 800-432-3475.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

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.
