SMU Community Chat with Thais Terzian and Frank Nikolic of CRU

Terzian is a principal analyst at CRU, where she leads crude steel and metallics analysis. She focused on both metallics and semi-finished goods as well as developments across steel markets in Americas. In other words, we discussed not only the North American steel market (as we usually do) but also developments in South America – and how they impact markets here.

Nikolic is vice president of base and battery metals for CRU. We delved into what’s happening in those markets with a particular focus on zinc – a key raw material for anyone in the galvanized steel market.

CRU is SMU’s parent company. And both Terzian and Nikolic bring a wealth of knowledge to the issues that matter to you. They’ll also be speaking at SMU Steel Summit. (The agenda for Summit is here. And you can register here.) So think of this as a preview of what they’ll discuss in Atlanta – and a good way to get the conversation going before Summit kicks off on Monday, Aug. 25.
