My apologies as I have been consumed lately with making sure we have a program staffed with the absolute best speakers at this year’s SMU Steel Summit Conference. This will be the first year we will have a manufacturer’s panel. The idea is to have three CEO’s talk about how they see business, trade and anything else that they feel would be of value to the other manufacturers, service centers, steel mills, trading companies, etc. We have two CEO’s confirmed and are working on getting our third. Both of the confirmed CEO’s came based on the recommendations of our readers. Got someone out there that you think has something to offer? You can reach me at: 800-432-3475 or by email at: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
In case you missed the data we shared with everyone at the end of the Alan Beaulieu article. Based on the survey taken during the conference last year, 33 percent of the attendees were manufacturing companies, 31 percent service centers, 11 percent were “not defined”, 8 percent financial institutions, 7 percent steel mills, 7 percent transportation and 3 percent raw material suppliers.
A reminder to everyone that Tuesday of this week is Valentine’s Day.
A always, your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

One thing we've learned from our survey here at SMU: When prices are rising, people have a lot to say. You can be assured that with our most recent survey, the comments were coming in fast and furious.

Before we get whipsawed by the current moment, it’s important to reflect on optimism. Whatever happens, consumers are going to need steel.

Remember infrastructure week in Trump 1.0? It became a running joke. Because it was almost always derailed by whatever the scandal of the day was. In Trump 2.0, we've got tariff week. And unlike infrastructure week, tariff week is no joke.

That’s not to say Section 232 shouldn’t be tightened up. Or that certain trade practices – even among our traditional allies – weren’t problematic. But when it comes to the reboot of Section 232, I do wonder whether there will be some unintended consequences.
