Another exciting week in the steel industry…
A couple of reminders:
With four months yet to go we are marching toward 400 registered executives for the 2019 SMU Steel Summit Conference, which will be held in Atlanta on Aug. 26-28. This is THE premier networking event for the steel industry during the calendar year. Here are just a few of the registrations we have received this week (the * means more than one person from that company is registered): NLMK USA*, Nucor*, Precoat Metals, Scrap Metal Services*, Valmont, Priefert Manufacturing*, State Steel Supply* and Kloeckner Metals. You can register for your spot by clicking on this link or going to: www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/Events/Steel-Summit
With two weeks to go we still have a few seats available for the SMU Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals workshop, which will be held in Davenport, Iowa, on the 14th and 15th of May. The workshop will include a tour of the SSAB steel mill. For details go to: www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/Events/Steel101
Next week is the Metals Industry Boy Scout Dinner at the Hyatt in Chicago. I highly recommend attending this dinner as it is probably the second-best networking event behind our conference (in my humble opinion). You can find more information on their website, which I have linked to here.
On June 17, the CRU Group will host a Steel Briefing in New York City. Lewis Leibowitz and I will be opening the conference. We will be discussing how trade is impacting the steel industry. This is a free event and you can register by clicking on this link.
I am here in my office for the balance of this week and will begin traveling again next Wednesday as I head off for Chicago.
As always, your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Cliffs came tantalizing close to buying U.S. Steel in 2023. There were rumors in 2024 that Cliffs might buy NLMK USA before it ultimately purchased Stelco for $2.5 billion in November of last year. Who would have thought that asset sales would have been the focal point of discussion just six months later?
Final Thoughts
Given the news about tariffs and bringing back industries to the US, a brief look back in time may show how our economy changes with technological advances and the shifting economies of scale.
Final Thoughts
We’ve talked about tariffs ad nauseam for much of the year. And I’m afraid this topic isn’t going away anytime soon. There’s a feeling that the tariff “can” will just be kicked down the road again and again, and again.
Final Thoughts
Can technology help with pig iron and DRI/HBI tariffs?
Final Thoughts
Tariff-related noise aside, there is one basic factor keeping buyers on the sidelines. Despite recent declines, HR prices remain at historically high levels. And there is no obvious support to keep them there.
