For those asking about Steel 101, we will close registration to our Chicago (Merrillville, Indiana) workshop at the end of this coming week. Details on the workshop can be found on our website or you are welcome to contact us: info@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
With some luck we will hopefully have registration up and running for our 5th Steel Summit Conference on our website sometime on Friday (tomorrow). We are going to have a great program and I want to invite all of you (and your friends) to join us in Atlanta on September 1 & 2 (actually you need to come in the night before and join us at the hotel bar for some networking).
Keeping it short this evening…
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Final Thoughts
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.

Final Thoughts
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.
