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.

“We’ll always have Paris,” as the famous line in Casablanca goes. And this month, the global steel industry did as well. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Steel Committee met in the City of Lights earlier this month. There was also a meeting of the Global Forum addressing excess steel capacity.

It’s once again A Tale of Two Cities in the steel market. Some are almost euphoric about Trump’s victory. Others, some rather bearish, are more focused on the day-to-day market between now and Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.

One of the perhaps unintentional perks of being a trade journalist is the opportunity to travel and cover an array of industry conferences and events. Some I've attended have been at fun locations, like Palm Springs and Tampa, Fla. Others have been in more practical locations, like SMU’s Steel Summit in Atlanta and American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and Steel Manufacturers Association (SMA) meetings in Washington, D.C.

t this point in the game I think what we can say about Nippon Steel’s proposed buy of Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel is that it will go through, it won’t go through, or the outcome will be something new and completely unexpected. Then again, I’m probably still missing a few options.

President-elect Donald Trump continues to send shockwaves through the political establishment (again). And steel markets and ferrous scrap markets continue to be, well, anything but shocking. As the French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr wrote in 1849, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." (I thought the quote might have been Yankees catcher Yogi Berra in 1949. Google taught me something new today.)
