I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. We are trying to accommodate everyone who wants to attend our 2017 SMU Steel Summit Conference even though we are technically sold out. We did manage to loosen up a few seats and those were gobbled up the moment we let people know they were available. Now we are trying to accommodate those who waited until the last minute or who began the registration process but never finished and were never confirmed. Please be aware that every single seat has been sold and will be in use during the conference…
I got a note from one of our readers who advised that the Circumvention case has a looming deadline of Aug. 31.
Trade attorney Lewis Leibowitz advised that the Section 337 case is in discovery (The ITC is reviewing the circumvention portion of that case – we have an article about that in tonight’s issue). AD/CVD we should know something by September. Section 232 – its all politics right now and being held up by the president.
I am on the road tomorrow. I will return phone calls as I am able. I should be in Atlanta and back to my daily routine by Thursday (whatever that means in light of our conference being just a few days away).
A special thank you to my staff who are doing a great job holding all the pieces together heading into the conference: Ray Culley, Diana Packard, Brett Linton, Alison Lalonde, Tim Triplett, Sandy Williams, Peter Wright, John Eckstein, Mario Briccetti and Steve Painter.
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".

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 […]
