Still Time to Register for Wednesday's Community Chat with Analyst Tanners

Written by Michael Cowden

January 4, 2022

Wolfe Research Managing Director Timna Tanners will be the featured speaker for Steel Market Update’s first Community Chat webinar of 2022 on Wednesday, Jan. 5.

We’ll discuss the big issues – the great debates – that will drive steel markets next year:

Timna Tanners• Will we see continued solid demand in 2022 or a “great unwind”?

• Will mills maintain “discipline” next year, or will a “sheet storm” hit as they break ranks and fight for business?

• As new EAF capacity comes online, will there be enough scrap to go around – or will “Scrapmageddon” come?

• Also, does China still drive the bus when it comes to commodity price trends? And, if it does, what does that mean for North American prices if Chinese steel demand slows?

We’ll of course take your questions too.

As always, we’ll keep it to about 45 minutes. You can (virtually) drop in, learn something – and then get on with your day. And the webinar is free.

Register here and tune in on Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET (10 a.m. CT).
