Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard

It has been an incredibly long day as we went on two mill tours and taught a Steel 101 classroom session. As I write my final thoughts for this evening, we are on our way back to Memphis where we will muster our strength and head out to our Steel 101/Nucor cocktail party and dinner before returning to my hotel room to work on tomorrow’s classroom session as we complete our Memphis workshop.
I will return to my office late in the day on Thursday, and then I think I will be there until I head to New York City on the 25th of June where I will attend a CRU event and then host the Bank of America Merrill Lynch dinner.
Our next event is our 8th SMU Steel Summit Conference. I don’t have the exact number of registrations at this moment, but we are closing in on 600 with just slightly less than three months to go.
If you haven’t made your hotel reservations, you need to do so quickly. We are down to minimal rooms in the Gateway block and we have about 80 rooms at the Atlanta Airport Marriott block. See our website for more details, www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/Events/Steel-Summit.
Thank you to Nucor Hickman and Nucor-Yamato for their gracious hospitality today. Our group enjoyed both mills immensely.
As always, your business is truly appreciated by all of us at Steel Market Update.
John Packard, President & CEO

Final Thoughts: Survey says edition
It's can-kicking at its finest. And it’s been drawn out! Some are getting so good at it, they’re kicking cans and taking names.

We just wrapped up another Steel 101 workshop, easily the most hands-on industry workshop on steelmaking and market fundamentals.

The US scrap market finds itself in a familiar position as we progress into the final quarter of the year.
