My focus over the next few days is going to be on demand and how demand will impact the flat rolled steel markets over the next couple of months. I began the process by looking at the Steel Dynamics earnings conference call transcript for hints as to how SDI sees the market progressing through 2nd and 3rd Quarters 2016. The article is contained in tonight’s issue and you may want to read it if you are at all concerned about how full the mills really are and what they see going forward.
But, I want to know more and you can help. Please send me your thoughts and opinions on demand for your products from now through the remainder of this year. You can reach me at: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
Our Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals workshop is officially SOLD OUT. We have an exceptional and very diverse class and I am looking forward to participating in this workshop and with working with our friends at North Star Bluescope. Our next workshop will not be until early November when we will roll out a special edition of our Steel 101 program in conjunction with Big River Steel. We will have more details on this workshop in the coming weeks.
I hope to roll-out a few more speakers to fill out our Steel Summit 2016 program. We have attached the speakers confirmed to date and we are getting rave reviews from manufacturers, service centers, trading companies and steel mills about the strength of the program. Registration is open and we encourage your company to register early (and often). We believe this year’s program will have something for everyone: CEO to brand new sales person or purchasing agent. If you have any questions I am always available: 800-432-3475 or John@SteelMarketUpdate.com. If you need an invoice or would like to register a large number of attendees from your company (and we have many who are bringing 3 or more people) you can communicate with me or Diana@SteelMarketUpdate.com. You can find more details about the hotel, conference center, program and registration on our website: www.SteelMarketUpdate.com.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

SMU looks back at stories from Decembers past, one, five, 10, and 100 years ago.

It's that time of year again. You know, that time when people wonder if those things are drones in New Jersey or if the aliens are ready to come onto the stage just in time for Inauguration Day. What will that do for steel price volatility? In any case, the SMU team finds itself in Pittsburgh this week.

The Community Chat last Wednesday with ITR economist Taylor St. Germain is worth listening to if you couldn’t tune in live. You can find the replay and Taylor’s slide deck here. You can also find SMU reporter Stephanie Ritenbaugh’s writeup of the webinar here. Taylor is Alan Beaulieu’s protégé at ITR. Many of you know Alan from his talks at SMU Steel Summit. I found Taylor’s analysis just as insightful as Alan’s.

Cracks have formed in what has been presented as the Biden administration’s united front against Nippon Steel’s play for U.S. Steel. A report from the Financial Times said parts of the administration are at odds on the deal.
Final Thoughts
It’s been another week of torrid speculation when it comes Trump and tariffs. And another week of mostly flat price movement when it comes to steel sheet and plate. As far as Trump and tariffs go, I think I might have lost track. We've potentially got 10% blanket tariffs on imports from China, 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, 100% tariffs on the BRICs, and 200% on Caterpillar. Canada might be the 51st state. Mexico could be the 52nd state. But all can be resolved if you stop by Mar-a-Lago and kiss the ring?
