Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard

As most of you know, I am in New York City running with the steel crowd associated with the Steel Success Strategies and the surrounding steel “events” entertaining the industry over the first three days of this week. I have probably spoken to 60-70 individuals about many subjects of interest, pricing, lead times, potential for more price increases all the way to what “may” happen with Essar Steel Algoma and USS Canada.
We will have much more about the conversations I have been having on Thursday after I return to my office.
Sorry for such a short “Final Thoughts” but I am trying to get as much face time with as many steel people as possible before I need to head back home.
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.
