A note to our Premium level customers, the Power Point presentation of last week’s flat rolled steel market trends analysis has been placed on the website. We will have a Premium level newsletter coming out on Monday as well. If you have any questions or need assistance to find our survey results please contact Brett@SteelMarketUpdate.com
We have just one seat left for the next Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals workshop. We are working on our workshop schedule for next year and we will advise as soon as we have solidified dates and locations.
Monday evening should be interesting as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump debate for the first time. As they get ready to debate I think back to our Steel Summit conference when Lourenco Goncalves told the group that the U.S. will survive no matter who becomes president.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
