By the time this newsletter is published I will be in New York City which by Monday afternoon will be crawling with steel and related industry people. There are a number of conferences, meetings and dinners surrounding the Steel Success Strategies conference which will be held during the first few days of this week. I will not be attending the actual SSS conference but will be at the Platts NY Steel Forum on Monday afternoon as well as the Bank of America dinner that evening. On Tuesday I will be attending the AMM awards dinner as one of our instructors, Andre Marshall of Crunchrisk has been nominated for an award.
I am staying close to the Sheraton where Steel Success Strategies is being held. If you would like to speak with me during the conference I can be reached by email: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com, text or cell phone: 770-596-6268.
We understand that we may have already sold out of our block of rooms at the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway Hotel. The hotel we are using for our Steel Summit Conference. We are working on adding more rooms to the block which should be done by Monday afternoon. Conference registration is open on our website or you can contact our office: 800-432-3475.
Invitations for our mid-June flat rolled steel analysis will be sent our first thing on Monday morning. Premium members can find the survey results under the analysis tab on our website. We should have the new Power Point presentation on the website sometime on Friday of this week. We published a short Premium Level newsletter supplement issue on Friday with our currency and scrap analysis. If you have not seen the issue you can find the complete issue under the Newsletter tab (Premium Archives). You must be logged in to the website in order to see the Premium Archive tab.
According to our iron ore trader in Asia, actual iron ore transaction prices are within $8 per dry metric ton of $80/dmt. I believe The Steel Index has 62% Fe around $90/dmt on Friday which is a new 52-week low.
As always your business is truly appreciated.

Sometimes new presidential administrations hit the ground running. No time for change like the present. And sometimes new administrations blast off on a SpaceX rocket bound for Mars. There’s a big universe, and we’ve got a lot of flags to plant. Such seems to be the case with the new Trump administration.

What’s been the impact of tariff threats on prices and demand? In short, not much – or at least that was the case when I was writing this column on Sunday afternoon. Spot activity for Canadian material, for example, has been put on hold over the last few weeks while the market waits to see what the new tariff landscape might look like.

Next Monday marks the start of the second Trump administration. The limbo we’ve been living in since Election Day in early November will finally come to an end. What better way to take a look at what’s coming up in Washington, D.C., than a conversation with Steel Manufacturers Association (SMA) President Philip K. Bell. He […]

It’s another week of big headlines and ho-hum pricing moves – which is to say the start of 2025 is looking a lot like the end of 2024. Scrap has settled up $20 per gross ton (gt).

I wrote in a Final Thoughts a few years ago that it seemed all the swans were black. More recently, I’ve been asked by some of you what the wildcards are for 2025. You could probably make the case that all the cards are wild now.
