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
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.
Final Thoughts
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.
Final Thoughts
A modest week-to-week change in HR price understates a huge swing in expectations.
