Final Thoughts

It’s Super Bowl Sunday so I will keep my final thoughts short and sweet. Congratulations to the Denver Broncos for winning the 50th Super Bowl (and giving hope to old football players everywhere).
Now we get to concentrate on the next spectacle that we get to live through this year: the 2016 election (oh yea, there is also something called the Olympics to come as well).
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Musings on decarb, tariffs, and technology, and where it might be leading.
Final Thoughts
There are days when this feels like a “nothing ever happens” market. Don’t get me wrong. Plenty is happening in the world. It’s just that none of it seems to matter when it comes to sheet and plate prices.
Final Thoughts: AMU brings the news
Usually, I write about steel in this column because, well, we’re Steel Market Update. But before I get to steel, I want to give a shoutout to my colleagues at Aluminum Market Update (AMU) – SMU’s new sister publication.
Final Thoughts
If I could change something, it’d be this: Political news would get more boring. And news about steel prices and steel demand would get a little more exciting.
Final Thoughts: Survey says edition
SMU’s latest survey results indicate that steel market participants think sheet prices are at or near a bottom. But most also think there is limited upside once they inflect higher.
