I am at 35,000 feet and, according to the monitor in front of me, we are traveling at 564 miles per hour and are located over the state of Utah. After working with a great group of attendees at our California Steel 101 program, I am on my way to New York City, where Tim Triplett and I will attend meetings hosted by the LME and Bank of America Merrill Lynch steel and mining analyst Timna Tanners.
We will be in New York City for a couple of days, returning to our offices on Wednesday of this week. If you are planning on being in the city on Monday or Tuesday and would like to meet with me, please send me an email (John@SteelMarketUpdate.com) or text me at 770-596-6268.
If you see the handsome guy in the photo on the left in the Marriott Marquis or on the streets of New York City – stop me and say hello.
I want to take a moment to welcome those who are new to Steel Market Update. I want to thank you for becoming a new member, for attending our Steel 101 workshop, or for registering for a trial to our newsletter and website. I encourage you to spend some time reviewing the contents we have on our website, as well as enjoying our newsletter, which is published on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. If you have questions about our website, please contact Brett@SteelMarketUpdate.com. If you have questions or suggestions about the content in the newsletters, please contact me at John@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
I heard from one of my scrap sources who advised that the July ferrous scrap market appears poised for sideways movement. There could be some weakness in primes (busheling/bundles) as pig iron prices have dropped. We will have more on the scrap markets once we get into negotiations between the steel mills and their scrap suppliers.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

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.
Final Thoughts
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.

I put some of our survey data through ChatGpt, with interesting results.
Final Thoughts
Nearly 50% of respondents to our latest survey thought hot-rolled coil prices have already peaked. And where will those prices be two months from now? Responses were decidedly split on that question.
