One of the reasons SMU decided to go with an App for our Steel Summit Conference this year was the belief that the App was something that could be used prior to the conference as well as after the conference. For example, earlier today I was working on developing scrap information in relationship to iron ore (spot in China) and billet prices delivered to Turkey. I remembered that Pete Meyers of Metalico had spoken on the subject so I went to the App, clicked on the Agenda, found his presentation and reviewed his slides which then prompted me to ask him a couple of questions.
For those of you who attended our 2015 Steel Summit Conference, the App is still alive and you can still access power point slides and send emails to attendees or speakers with any questions you might have.
We think this will also be a bonus for those of you who will be attending our 2016 Steel Summit Conference (scheduled for August 30-31, 2016 in Atlanta) as you will have access to what was said last year as well as the new material once the conference is in full swing.
We will begin our early October flat rolled steel market analysis at 8 AM ET on Monday morning. If you receive an invite to participate please click on the link (button) contained in the message and you will be redirected to the questionnaire. I thank you in advance for helping us to better understand the flat rolled steel markets.
I will be traveling to Davenport, Iowa on Monday where I will meet up with the rest of our Steel 101 instructors: John Eckstein and Steve Painter who are flying out of Baltimore, Peter Wright who comes from Dallas/Ft. Worth and Mario Briccetti who joins us from Rhode Island. We are looking forward to our workshop and our first tour of the SSAB facility located about 30 minutes away.
I want to welcome our newest members and I want to take a moment to let you know that I encourage questions, comments and suggestions from our members. If there is something on your mind please let us know. You can reach us at: info@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Can technology help with pig iron and DRI/HBI tariffs?
Final Thoughts
Tariff-related noise aside, there is one basic factor keeping buyers on the sidelines. Despite recent declines, HR prices remain at historically high levels. And there is no obvious support to keep them there.
Final Thoughts
United Airlines raised eyebrows earlier this month when it provided two forecasts for 2025 – one assuming a relatively stable economy and another assuming a recession. The reason? Uncertainty around the impact of President Trump’s policy shocks on the broader economy. And it sometimes feels like we’re seeing a battle between those two narratives (stable vs recession) play out within in the pages of this newsletter.
Final Thoughts
Despite some scary headlines lately (especially about Trump potentially firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell) this is not October 2008 (financial crisis) or March 2020 (onset of the pandemic). But it sure seems like we’ve taken a relatively strong economy and poured a thick sauce of uncertainty over it.

I put some of our survey data through ChatGpt, with interesting results.
