I am pleased to announce that we have been given permission to take our next Steel 101 workshop to Ohio and to tour the Northstar Bluescope steel mill. Northstar Bluescope Steel has an exceptional reputation for both quality and efficiency and we are looking forward to seeing the mill in action. We will have more information about this Steel 101 program online in the coming days.
At this time I am in Mississippi having just finished touring the SDI Columbus steel mill which is the largest EAF flat rolled mill in North America. I can tell you that the mill was running all of their equipment and is projected to set a new production record for galvanized this month. I want to thank Madhu Ranade, General Manager of the Columbus plant and Don Switzer, Head of Commercial as well as the rest of the SDI team for their hospitality and the great job they did showing off their mill to our attendees this afternoon. It was a little cool temperature wise here in Mississippi but, the mill was running hot and a good experience was had by all.
If you would like to have an exceptional learning experience come join us in Ohio in May when we visit Northstar Bluescope Steel and/or in Arkansas in October/early November when we will tour the new Big River Steel…
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

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.

SMU lets readers respond on their thoughts about President Joe Biden blocking Nippon's deal for U.S. Steel.
Final Thoughts
Some world-changing events happen in an instant. Others take many twists and turns. The outcome remains unknowable at every phase. That is, until you finally arrive at the end of the roller coaster, the safety bar lifts up, and you stagger off the ride. It appears such is the case with Japan’s Nippon’s Steel Corp.’s (NSC’s) proposed $14.9-billion buy of Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel. And the ride ain't over yet.
Final Thoughts
I’m not sure what to say about President Biden’s blocking Nippon Steel’s deal for U.S. Steel that hasn’t already been said. I think it’s fair to say, as U.S. Steel CEO David Burritt did, that this was ultimately all about politics and had very little to do with national security. SMU has tried to remain […]
