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 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.

What a difference a month makes. In late March, it seemed like the US hot-rolled (HR) coil market was poised to cycle upward. Large buyers had re-entered the market and placed big orders earlier in the month. Several outages were underway or upcoming. And expectations were that lead times would continue to extend. Cliffs said […]
Final thoughts
I’ve gotten some questions lately about whether the huge gap between domestic hot-rolled coil (HR) prices and those for cold-rolled (CR) and coated is sustainable. I remember being asked similar questions about the wide spread between HR and plate that developed in early 2022. I thought at the time that there was no way that spread could hold. Turned out, I was wrong. That was humbling. And so I’m not going to make any bold predictions this time.

We've used the word "unprecedented" a lot over the last four years to describe steel price volatility. Over the last two months – despite earlier predictions of a price surge - we've seen unprecedented stability.

I was in Las Vegas last week for ISRI’s annual convention. I like Vegas. I’ve had some fun there over the years. (I was married there nearly 20 years ago. We're still together.) And last week was no exception. So let’s start with the big news from Sin City. When the recycled materials industry meets for the big event next year, it will be under the banner of "ReMA" – not "ISRI".
Final thoughts
To the surprise of many — myself included — flat-rolled steel prices appear to be in a holding pattern… again. This is not familiar territory for hot-rolled (HR) coil, at least not over the past few years. Its pricing volatility (as my colleague Michael Cowden has noted in past columns) may rival the elastic moves […]
