News for those attending this year’s SMU Steel Summit Conference, we will have free Wi-Fi for everyone attending. This will allow attendees to interact easier with other attendees and with our polling and other features on the SMU App. The SMU App will also have some new features this year and we will write about those in the coming weeks. Early registrations have been surprisingly brisk 193 days prior to the beginning of the conference. You can learn more about our conference, browse the speakers as we add them to the growing list, review what companies attended last year and find information regarding the costs associated with attending this year’s event. The dates are August 28-30, 2017. The conference will begin with a “Pre-Summit” segment which will be conducted at the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway Hotel on Monday afternoon so you will want to plan to arrive into ATL in the morning or early afternoon. There will be plenty of people to network with in the lobby of the hotel as the afternoon. Last year we had 200 people in our Pre-Summit segment and we expect this year to reach 300.

I mentioned the other day that a manufacturing company CEO with whom I had breakfast on Monday mentioned Jeffrey Gitomer and some of his quotes on business. I looked him up and found a few more quotes that you might find useful, “Your customers are judging every aspect of every transaction and rating everything, from friendliness of people to ease of doing business to quality of product to service after the sale.”
Another quote, “In sales, it’s not what you say; it’s how they perceive what you say.”
Enough said.
As 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.
