The rash of price increase announcements threw one of the articles I have been working on to the back burner for today. However, the flame will be lit once again tomorrow. The article is about foreign steel imports. In particular, I have been talking to a number of trading companies about their order books, spread between foreign and domestic and what they anticipate for the future. The results may surprise…
We still have a few seats left at the next Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals workshop. The dates are May 19 & 20 and the host hotel is the Radisson at Star Plaza in Merriville, Indiana. Our mill tour will be at NLMK USA Portage, Indiana steel mill. The price for the workshop is $2000 per person with discounts available for Steel Market Update member companies and for those sending more than one person to the workshop. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com or by phone: 800-432-3475.
For those of you looking past May – the Steel 101 program following Merriville will be in Davenport, Iowa (yep, Iowa) and we will tour the SSAB mini-mill. The dates are October 6 & 7, 2015.
For those wanting to go to something that will be an important networking opportunity, informative with business and steel forecasts and entertaining – I’m talking about our 5th Steel Summit Conference. Dates are September 1 & 2, 2015. Early bird registration will begin later this week on our website.
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.

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?
