My apologies as I have been consumed lately with making sure we have a program staffed with the absolute best speakers at this year’s SMU Steel Summit Conference. This will be the first year we will have a manufacturer’s panel. The idea is to have three CEO’s talk about how they see business, trade and anything else that they feel would be of value to the other manufacturers, service centers, steel mills, trading companies, etc. We have two CEO’s confirmed and are working on getting our third. Both of the confirmed CEO’s came based on the recommendations of our readers. Got someone out there that you think has something to offer? You can reach me at: 800-432-3475 or by email at: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
In case you missed the data we shared with everyone at the end of the Alan Beaulieu article. Based on the survey taken during the conference last year, 33 percent of the attendees were manufacturing companies, 31 percent service centers, 11 percent were “not defined”, 8 percent financial institutions, 7 percent steel mills, 7 percent transportation and 3 percent raw material suppliers.
A reminder to everyone that Tuesday of this week is Valentine’s Day.
A always, your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

We’ve talked about tariffs ad nauseam for much of the year. And I’m afraid this topic isn’t going away anytime soon. There’s a feeling that the tariff “can” will just be kicked down the road again and again, and again.

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.

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.
