We are working into the night to get all of our existing members into the new website. Transition is always a fun project and our company has grown over the past 5+ years. So, this project has been a real challenge for us to complete.
There are bound to be bugs in the system. Sometimes links get broken as we made corrections over the past week or so and we don’t (or didn’t) notice them when the site came up. If you do see something amiss please let us know at: info@SteelMarketUpdate.com and we will correct the problem as soon as possible.
If you are new to Steel Market Update we welcome you and I want to remind our newest members that we enjoy comments, questions and suggestions. Please do not hesitate to contact me personally: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com and tell your friends about us as well.
We had a very successful two single day workshops at one of the domestic steel mills earlier this week. The workshop was a custom program specifically designed to fit their specific needs. This is something we would enjoy doing for other steel related companies or the financial community. If this is something which may be of interest to you and your company contact us for more information: Info@SteelMarketUpate.com
We have just recently completed our Media Kit for those who may have an interest in advertising on either our website or the newsletters we produce. You can request a Media Kit by sending an email request to: Advertising@SteelMarketUpdate.com
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Some of you have told me that the current market feels about as crazy as early 2021 when demand snapped back after the initial outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. Others have said it might be more like late February/early March 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine – and, in the process, caused […]

To say we’ve entered a “Brave New World” since Jan. 20 might be an exaggeration, but we’ve definitely entered a different one.
Final Thoughts
I think it’s fair to say that the last few weeks – and last week especially – have been among the most intense for any of us covering steel (or aluminum).
