Earlier today, I spoke to the RIPA/IPANA annual meeting about the steel industry, AD/CVD duties, Section 232 tariffs and a number of our proprietary products. No one fell asleep, which is always a good sign.
I will be back in the office on Friday morning, and with the exception of one quick trip to CRU offices in Pittsburgh, I will remain in my office through the month of November. You will be able to reach me at 772-245-8630 or by email: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com
Note that we are in the process of moving our 800 number to Paige Mayhair in our Pittsburgh office. Paige is handling all customer service and renewal questions. You can reach Paige at 724-720-1012.
We changed the date of our first 2019 Steel 101 workshop, moving it up to Jan. 29-30. The workshop will be held in Starkville, Miss., and will include a tour of the SDI Columbus steel mill. Registration is now open, and you can find details on our website: www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/Events/Steel101
As always, your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
John Packard, President & CEO

Another record-breaking SMU Steel Summit is in the books. Thanks to all of you – attendees, speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors – for making it possible it in what has been an uncertain year for steel.

Final Thoughts: Steel Summit 2025 has launched!
Steel Summit 2025 has just launched, and we're off to an amazing start.

Final Thoughts
The big show is here again. SMU Steel Summit begins on Monday. This year, like last year, more than 1,500 people will be joining us. And I couldn’t be more excited to have everyone here in Atlanta.

Final Thoughts
With SMU Steel Summit starting in just a few days, I decided to go back and do a quick check on where things stand now compared to the week before Summit last year.

Is a pattern finally emerging in the post-Liberation Day tariff landscape?
