We will hopefully have information and a date for a new workshop we have under development. The new workshop is tentatively being called: Managing Price Risk: Strategies & Execution. The workshop will be for those who already have some knowledge of hot rolled coil (HRC) and busheling (BUS) futures and options trading. Our intention is to provide a workshop for those who want to know more about the various strategies for protecting inventory values, protecting profits or offering long-term firm pricing through the use of futures and options trading. We already have a waiting list so our goal is to have the workshop – which at this time we are forecasting to go over two half days and the first to be held at the CME in Chicago.
We will publish one of our Premium Level newsletter supplements on Friday for our Premium Level members.
The OCTG dumping case decision was postponed today due to the winter weather in Washington, D.C. We should get a decision early next week.
I will be back in the office on Monday after having been stranded in Florida due to the weather in North Georgia (I can tell I am not getting much sympathy for that one). My next trip will be to Austin, Texas for the FMA Tolling Processing conference.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update. Thank you for your kind words and recommendations to your suppliers and customers. We continue to grow and your help is always appreciated.

Final Thoughts
It’s once again A Tale of Two Cities in the steel market. Some are almost euphoric about Trump’s victory. Others, some rather bearish, are more focused on the day-to-day market between now and Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.

One of the perhaps unintentional perks of being a trade journalist is the opportunity to travel and cover an array of industry conferences and events. Some I've attended have been at fun locations, like Palm Springs and Tampa, Fla. Others have been in more practical locations, like SMU’s Steel Summit in Atlanta and American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and Steel Manufacturers Association (SMA) meetings in Washington, D.C.

t this point in the game I think what we can say about Nippon Steel’s proposed buy of Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel is that it will go through, it won’t go through, or the outcome will be something new and completely unexpected. Then again, I’m probably still missing a few options.
Final Thoughts
President-elect Donald Trump continues to send shockwaves through the political establishment (again). And steel markets and ferrous scrap markets continue to be, well, anything but shocking. As the French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr wrote in 1849, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." (I thought the quote might have been Yankees catcher Yogi Berra in 1949. Google taught me something new today.)
Final Thoughts
President-elect Donald Trump will officially retake the White House on Jan. 20. I’ve been getting questions about how his administration’s policies might reshape the steel industry and domestic manufacturing. I covered the tumult and norm busting of Trump's first term: Section 232, Section 301, USMCA - and that's just on the trade policy side of things. It's safe to say that we'll have no shortage of news in 2025 when it comes to trade and tariffs.
