Final Thoughts

It is Tuesday evening and I continue to multi-task as the moving company shows up at 8 AM on Wednesday and after 15 years in the same location there is much to do to get ready for the move. For those that did not catch my note about this in the last issue, Steel Market Update is moving its headquarters from Georgia to Florida. We are looking forward to the change (especially the winter weather) and how being in Florida will help us develop more workshops and conferences in the sunny state. Our first conference being our Leadership Conference which will be held in Palm Beach Gardens at the PGA National Resort and Spa on March 7-9. More details will be coming soon.
But, there are moving boxes to fill so I will keep my final thoughts brief this evening.
Thank you again for your business which 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.
