I am in Ohio as we will be hosting another one of our Steel 101 workshops in Sylvania, Ohio. The accident at North Star BlueScope has resulted in the loss of our mill tour. However, I believe this program will be one of the strongest presented as we have been working overtime to fill the void left by the lost tour. We have a great group of steel people coming and I know our instructors are looking forward to this workshop.
North Star BlueScope has told us we will be welcome into their mill on a future occasions when there aren’t contractors working on repairing their steel making operations.
Our next Steel 101 workshop will be held in Memphis, Tennessee in November of this year and will include a “special tour” of Big River Steel. We will be sharing details about this program within the next couple of weeks.
We are sending out our mid-May flat rolled steel market questionnaire at 8 AM on Monday morning. If you are on our invitee list we hope you will take a few moments to click on the button in our invitation which will take you to the survey hosted on the SurveyMonkey.com website.
Take a moment to go to our website and review our Steel Summit program. We have added a couple of new speakers over the last week and we will be adding a couple more before the agenda will be closed. If you are planning on attending we recommend both registering for the conference on our website or through our offices: 800-432-3475 and make hotel reservations. We have a limited number of rooms blocked at the special $139 rate (versus the normal $239 rate). If I have an idea that we may exceed our room block I will try to increase it. Hotel rooms are subject to availability (there is another hotel across the street also owned by Marriott).
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

The difference: The spat with Turkey was a big deal for steel. This time, the 50% reciprocal tariff for Brazil – if it goes into effect as threatened on Aug.1 – hits everything from coffee and to pig iron. It seems almost custom-built to inflict as much pain as possible on Brazil.
Final Thoughts
Are we on the cusp of sorting out the tariff situation, or is this merely another round in the bout?

I’m not sure how many different ways I can write that it’s been a quiet market ahead of Independence Day. There are variations on that theme. I’ve heard everything from the ominous “eerily quiet” to "getting better" and even the occasional “blissfully unaware” (because I’m enjoying my vacation).
Final Thoughts
What's going to be the next big thing in steel?

Based on the amount of ‘out of office’ replies we’ve been receiving and the results of this week’s steel buyers’ survey, those pesky summer doldrums have arrived for the steel industry.
