When we last left you Hurricane Matthew was just beginning to approach the east coast of Florida as a category 4 storm. I was a little concerned about our office building and our home. I am pleased to tell you that the storm took a little jog to the east as it left the Bahamas. Enough of a move that the storm remained off shore and there was essentially little damage done in southern Florida. We dodged the bullet on this one.
I want to thank everyone who sent well wishes as we waited out the storm.
As I drove around this area of Florida I didn’t see the roofing and other structural wind damage to structures that require steel for repairs. This may be different in northern sections of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina where flooding seems to be rampant.
Last week I mentioned that we have a waiting list for the Memphis/Big River Steel Steel 101 workshop. The next one after Memphis will be held in Huntsville, Alabama and we will tour the Nucor Decatur facility. We hope to have exact dates and details on our website towards the end of this week or the beginning of next week. Stay tuned to our website for details.
Tonight is the second presidential debate (9 PM ET) so I am going to end here to allow everyone time to get popcorn and their favorite drink of the day and settle in for the show.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

The difference: The spat with Turkey was a big deal for steel. This time, the 50% reciprocal tariff for Brazil – if it goes into effect as threatened on Aug.1 – hits everything from coffee and to pig iron. It seems almost custom-built to inflict as much pain as possible on Brazil.
Final Thoughts
Are we on the cusp of sorting out the tariff situation, or is this merely another round in the bout?

I’m not sure how many different ways I can write that it’s been a quiet market ahead of Independence Day. There are variations on that theme. I’ve heard everything from the ominous “eerily quiet” to "getting better" and even the occasional “blissfully unaware” (because I’m enjoying my vacation).

What's going to be the next big thing in steel?

Based on the amount of ‘out of office’ replies we’ve been receiving and the results of this week’s steel buyers’ survey, those pesky summer doldrums have arrived for the steel industry.
