I am in Blytheville, Arkansas making final preparations for our Steel 101: Introduction to Steelmaking & Market Fundamentals workshop. We have a full class which will tour the Nucor Hickman facility on Tuesday afternoon.
We will send out a complimentary issue of our latest Monthly Newsletter on Monday. Once our new website comes online we will begin selling the Monthly Newsletter as a stand-alone product. The price for new customers will be $300 per year (12 issues). In the beginning we will offer our existing customers the opportunity to receive the Monthly Newsletter as well for an additional $100 on top of the single membership rate. For corporate pricing please contact our office: info@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
Thank you to everyone who spent time with either John Temples or myself at Metalcon last week.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Final Thoughts
There are days when this feels like a “nothing ever happens” market. Don’t get me wrong. Plenty is happening in the world. It’s just that none of it seems to matter when it comes to sheet and plate prices.
Final Thoughts: AMU brings the news
Usually, I write about steel in this column because, well, we’re Steel Market Update. But before I get to steel, I want to give a shoutout to my colleagues at Aluminum Market Update (AMU) – SMU’s new sister publication.
