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.

Cliffs came tantalizing close to buying U.S. Steel in 2023. There were rumors in 2024 that Cliffs might buy NLMK USA before it ultimately purchased Stelco for $2.5 billion in November of last year. Who would have thought that asset sales would have been the focal point of discussion just six months later?

Given the news about tariffs and bringing back industries to the US, a brief look back in time may show how our economy changes with technological advances and the shifting economies of scale.
