You have 23 days (as of today) to take advantage of our early bird special registration rates for the SMU Steel Summit Conference which will be held on September 1 & 2, 2015. For our regular customers (subscribers) when you take the early bird special rate and include the $100 per person discount given to member companies the price quickly drops from $1200 per person to $900 per person. We encourage those of you who are planning on attending to register early, and then convince others within your company, suppliers or customers to join you in Atlanta.
I will be in New York City beginning tomorrow late afternoon (Monday) as I will be attending the Bank of America Merrill Lynch dinner and other events surrounding the Steel Success Strategies conference. I will be in NYC through Wednesday afternoon. If you would like to meet with me while I am in NYC you can email me: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com or text me: 770-596-6268. I will also be around the Sheraton Hotel off and on as I go from meeting to meeting.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Musings on decarb, tariffs, and technology, and where it might be leading.
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.
Final Thoughts: Survey says edition
SMU’s latest survey results indicate that steel market participants think sheet prices are at or near a bottom. But most also think there is limited upside once they inflect higher.
