Just a quick note to let everyone know I will be in Tampa later this week for the Port of Tampa Steel Conference. I will be reporting on what I learned in Thursday evening’s edition of Steel Market Update.
I want to take a moment to welcome our newest members and to remind them that we are open to comments, questions and suggestions. A number of our articles each week come from suggestions from our readers. We also react to comments such as one reader who was interested in a particular graph that we had shared in an article. So, we put the data on our website in an interactive graph for all of our clients to enjoy. I can be reached at: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com or by phone at: 800-432-3475.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update – please go tell your friends about us…

Recently, I conducted an interview with Doug Schrock, managing principal of AI at public accounting and consulting firm Crowe. He gave some tips on how to implement AI into your business.
