I asked trade attorney Lewis Leibowitz recently to look into the requests for reviews of the antidumping and countervailing duties on CORE (corrosion resistant steel) and cold rolled. The U.S. Department of Commerce published notices on July 3, 2017, asking any of the countries/companies affected if they wished to have a one-year review of the initial decision. Leibowitz advised us that the Commerce Department has not yet published a list, but there are a number of reviews requested. There were no requests from the Chinese. The Koreans have filed a number of requests (four or five, including POSCO).
This year’s SMU Steel Summit Conference will be the first to be covered by television. Media credentials have been requested by NHK Japan Broadcasting Corp. for the conference. NHK is the Japanese equivalent to the PBS broadcasting network here in the United States.
It feels like a bolt of electricity passing through my body as I prepare for the largest crowd to ever participate in a SMU Steel Summit Conference. We will blow away last year’s record attendance, and we will have to close registrations tomorrow (Friday, Aug. 19) as I do not want to sell standing-room-only tickets. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting our conference, whether you personally are attending this year’s event or not.
Mark your 2018 calendars now – Aug. 27, 28 and 29 – we will once again hold our conference in Atlanta at the Georgia International Convention Center.
As always, your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Now that the USS/Nippon deal has been completed, what's next?
Final Thoughts
Getting back to the price increases I mentioned at the top of this article, to what extent are they aimed at raising prices and to what extent are they aimed at stopping the bleeding that was happening in the second half of May, before President Trump announced the 50% tariff?

We just wrapped another Steel 101 Workshop, where you take what you learned in the classroom into the steel mill.
Final Thoughts
Steel equities and steel futures fell hard after news broke earlier this week that the US and Mexico might reach an agreement that would result in the 50% Section 232 tariff coming off Mexican steel. The sharp declines didn’t make much sense, especially if, as some reports indicate, Mexico might agree to a fixed quota. They didn't make sense even if steel flows between the US and Mexico remain unchanged.
Final Thoughts
Even before the news about Mexico, I didn’t want to overstate the magnitude of the change in momentum. As far as we could tell, there hadn’t been a frenzy of new ordering following President Trump’s announcement of 50% Section 232 tariffs. But higher tariffs had unquestionably raised prices for imports, which typically provide the floor for domestic pricing. We’d heard, for example, that prices below $800 per short ton for hot-rolled (HR) coil were gone from the domestic market – even for larger buyers.
