We have highlighted a few significant moments in steel history in our last few Final Thoughts crosswords. This week we decided to dedicate the entire crossword to it.
The steel industry in the US has a long and storied past. Business cycles go up and down. Mills, companies, they rise and fall, and sometimes rise again. Change is the nature of the game. But it always goes in one direction: forward.
Below are some famous steel mills and companies that no longer exist, but made a lasting impact on the steel landscape, as well the history of this country in general.
While this week we took a look back, our final crossword next week will be forward-looking. And we’re confident that our readers will be some of the people shaping that future. On the heels of next week will be our Steel 101 course on June 11-12 in Fort Wayne, Ind. The course includes a tour of SDI Butler, an EAF sheet mill. If you want to learn more about steelmaking or market fundamentals, this is the course for you.

United Airlines raised eyebrows earlier this month when it provided two forecasts for 2025 – one assuming a relatively stable economy and another assuming a recession. The reason? Uncertainty around the impact of President Trump’s policy shocks on the broader economy. And it sometimes feels like we’re seeing a battle between those two narratives (stable vs recession) play out within in the pages of this newsletter.
Final Thoughts
Despite some scary headlines lately (especially about Trump potentially firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell) this is not October 2008 (financial crisis) or March 2020 (onset of the pandemic). But it sure seems like we’ve taken a relatively strong economy and poured a thick sauce of uncertainty over it.

I put some of our survey data through ChatGpt, with interesting results.

Nearly 50% of respondents to our latest survey thought hot-rolled coil prices have already peaked. And where will those prices be two months from now? Responses were decidedly split on that question.
