To those of you who receive invitations to participate in our flat rolled steel market questionnaire (survey) we will send out invitations for the early June analysis on Monday, June 1st at 8 AM. The survey will remain open until Thursday afternoon. Please take a few moments to click on the button (link) which will take you to the latest questions.
Our next Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals workshop is now online and open for registration. The workshop will be held on October 6 & 7, 2015 at the Radisson Quad Cities Plaza in Davenport, Iowa. Included in this workshop will be a tour of the SSAB mini-mill which is located in Montpelier, IA.
We just concluded one of our Steel 101 workshops just outside of Chicago and we toured the NLMK USA mini-mill in Portage, Indiana. Here is what one of the attendees had to say about the workshop, “Enjoyed Steel 101, very informative- I think the best part was being able to see the electric arc furnace at the mill. Classes were very helpful and allowed me to better understand the steel making process. The material that was covered was very informative, as I am very new to the steel industry and was unaware of the process and materials that make up steel. Now I have a much better understanding of the entire process. I would recommend this class to others that are new to the steel industry as it allows you to put the entire picture together- Thank You, it was a pleasure meeting you all and I enjoyed your class and allowing me to tour the mill. Thanks, Rachel Hindel, Heating & Cooling Products.”
Another of our attendees keep his comments short and sweet with, “5 stars.”
I want to invite you, or a member of your company, to come join us in the Quad Cities (Davenport, IA) in early October. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact either myself (John@SteelMarketUpdate.com) or our office: 800-432-3475 and we will do our best to assist you.
For those attending Steel Success Strategies (SSS) in New York City next week, I will be at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch dinner on Monday evening and I will be in the city until Wednesday afternoon. If you would like to set up a time to meet, please contact me either by email: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com or on my cell phone: 770-596-6268.
The following week I will be in Chicago as I am speaking at a Bank of America dinner on the 17th and then I will be attending the Association of Steel Distributors (ASD) regional meeting in Chicago on the 18th.
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.
