We will begin our next flat rolled steel market analysis (survey for those of you new to SMU) on Monday morning. Invitations will be sent our by SurveyMonkey.com around 8 AM ET on Monday. If you receive an invitation please click on the link or button contained in the message to access your questionnaire.
Registrations continue for our next Steel 101 workshop which will be held in Merrillville, Indiana just outside of Chicago. The dates for the workshop are May 19 & 20th and the workshop will include a tour of the NLMK USA steel mill located in Portage, Indiana. The NLMK mill is a mini-mill, which means it uses an electric arc furnace (EAF) to reduce scrap to new steel. You can find more information about our program, instructors, costs and how to register in the Events section of our website. If you have any issues or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call: 800-432-3475.
In this evening’s issue we have included the most recent currency article which is normally provided to our Premium level members approximately once every three weeks. The value of local currencies against the U.S. dollar is one of the main reasons why commodities (and steel) are having issues. The stronger the dollar the more attractive our market looks to other countries. If you would like to learn more about Premium level membership please contact our office: 800-432-3475 or info@SteelMarketUpdate.com. We will gladly provide a free trial period and we also provide special pricing for existing Executive level members who wish to upgrade their accounts.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

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). Steel prices, however, were a soft sideways this week. Chalk it up to uneven demand and abundant supply. And while we’re not aware of any major outages, some of you tell us that you’ve lost some shipping days here and there because of the recent cold snap.

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.
