Estelle Tran, prices lead at CRU, Michael Cowden, managing editor at SMU, and Josh Spoores, principal analyst at CRU, will be the featured speakers on a special CRU webinar. It will take place on Thursday, March 21, at 10 a.m. ET. You can learn more and register here.
What we’ll talk about
Due to overwhelming demand from customers, Steel Market Update has been conducting a service center inventory survey for over five years. Unlike other surveys, this timely report is open for all service centers to participate, with the key data published in the SMU newsletters at an affordable price.
Join the webinar not only to learn about the survey but also how the analysts use this data to keep abreast of the market.
Why you should tune in
We’ll be looking at what data is covered in the SMU inventory report, who can participate, and what data access is received. Not to mention how CRU’s analysts utilize this data.
We’ll take your questions, too. So think of some good ones and throw them in the Q&A!
Editor’s note: Check out SMU’s Community Chat page if you’d like to see recordings of past webinars, including our last one with Geoff Gilmore of Worthington Steel.
